Abstract

Both [27r+ 47r] and [27r+ 681 concerted cycloaddition reactions are calculated to be exothermic processes and, on the basis of thermodynamic considerations alone, both processes might then be expected to occur with roughly similar facility. In practice, however, whereas there are hundreds of examples of the first of these processes known (i, e., the Diels-Alder reaction), there is to our knowledge not a single example of the second of ...
