摘要
The stereospecific endo dimerization of cyclopentadiene takes place through an asynchronous and symmetrical bispericyclic transition structure, which shows a merging of the 4+2 and 2+4 cycloaddition paths. The shape of the transition structure testifies to the presence of attractive Salem/Houk secondary orbital interactions assisting the endo approach. Copyright © 2002 American Chemical Society.
