The correct interpretation is provided of how tunneling proceeds at low temperatures in the proton transfer Reactions (1) and (3) involving thiotropolone and tropolone (see the Arrhenius plots). It is also shown that the variational transition‐state theory calculations carried out by Jose and Datta ( Angew. Chem. 2012 , 124 , 9523; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012 , 51 , 9389), as well as their conclusions regarding these two processes are erroneous.
