✦ Synopsis
Absolute values of the reaction cross section, CT,, for the title reaction family have been measured by chemiluminescence emission under beam-gas conditions. The uR values diminish as the radical group R increases in size, showing an important overall steric effect. These results are discussed in the iight of simple models for reaction stereodynamics.

The argument given by Mestdagh et al. in their Comment is discussed in the light of previous work carried out by the same authors. In our Reply we emphasize that in addition to reaction energetics, dynamical and stereodynamical effects. could also decide the onset of a chemical reaction.
