Abstract

It is found that path (i), which is concerted and stereospecific, is
favored both thermodynamically and kinetically, in agreement
with exp~'rimental results. In addition, paths (ii) and (iii) are found
to be competitive with each other and both are highly energetic
due to steric effects, with activation energy being about 50 kcal/mo!.
