The mechanism of the singlet oxygen ene reaction has been a subject of renewed interest within the last few years. The main question being whether this reaction proceeds through a concerted mechanism or if it involves discrete intermediates. In general, the majority of experimental and computational studies support a traditional stepwise mechanism involving a perepoxide-like intermediate. In this minireview we highlight the most prominent and recent theoretical, as well as experimental results relating to the challenging mechanism of the singlet oxygen ene oxyfunctionalization.
过去几年中，单线态氧烯反应的机理一直是人们重新关注的课题。主要问题是该反应是通过协同机理进行，还是涉及离散中间体。一般来说，大多数实验和计算研究都支持一种传统的分步机理，涉及过氧醚样中间体。在这篇综述中，我们重点介绍了与挑战性的单线态氧烯氧官能化机理有关的最突出和最新的理论和实验结果。
