22. It is well-known that DFT hybrid functionals (such as mPWlk) tend to overestimate the stability of high spin states (such as a triplet); thus, the difference between the singlet transition state and the biradical one should be even larger than what we calculated. For example, see: Poli, R.; Harvey, J. N. Chem. Soc. Rev. 2003, 32, 1-8.
