New enyne-allenes, structurally designed toward the thermal C(2)-C(6)/[2 + 2] cyclisation mode, were prepared and characterised, one of them even by X-ray crystallography. The mechanism of their transformation to formal [2 + 2] cycloadducts was interrogated by trapping experiments and DFT computations. The results support a stepwise mechanism that involves the reversible formation of the C(2)-C(6) diradical intermediate.
新型烯炔-烯丙炔,通过结构设计使其倾向于热 C(2)-C(6)/[2 + 2]环化模式,已被制备和表征,其中一个甚至通过 X 射线晶体学进行了表征。通过捕获实验和 DFT 计算,研究了它们转化为正规 [2 + 2] 环加成物的机制。结果支持涉及 C(2)-C(6) 二自由基中间体可逆形成的逐步机制。
