摘要
The regiospecific dimerization of methacrolein takes place through a very asynchronous and symmetrical transition structure, which shows a merging of the 4+2 and 2+4 cycloaddition paths. The geometrical features of the transition structures correspond well to a case of diradical formation. A cage of secondary orbital interactions restricts the flexibility of the diradical transition structure and stabilizes it. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
