Optimized TSs for the reactions of DMDO with (a) cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexanes at the equatorial (3-eq-TS) and axial C-H bonds (3-ax-TS); (b) cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexanes at the equatorial (4-eq-TS) and axial (4-ax-TS) C-H bonds. Energies in kcal/mol with respect to the corresponding reactants. Individual components of distortion energies (alkane distortion, dioxirane distortion) are in parentheses.
