Abstract

The concerted transfer of two hydrogen atoms from an ethane to an ethylene group in a process suprafacial on both reactants is a thermally “allowed” pericyclic reaction.'The diimide reduction of olefins2 is an example, and analogous reactions with hydrocarbons have also been reported; they are all highly exothermic rocesses involving the formation of aromatic compounds. lJ We report an intramolecular, thermoneutral [, 2,+. 2,+. 2,] ...
