Transition Structures of Hydrocarbon Pericyclic Reactions

Houk, Kendall N., Li, Yi, Evanseck, Jeffrey D.·1992·Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English

Abstract

Twenty‐five years after the discovery of a vast class of organic reactions named “pericyclic reactions” by Woodward and Hoffmann, ab initio quantum mechanics provides a detailed analysis of the geometries, energies, and electronic characteristics of the transition structures of these reactions. Common features are found in all these reactions, and generalizations permit prediction of other transition‐structure geometries and energies. At the same time, great diversity is observed—from strongly bonded, rigid, closed‐shell entities to weakly interacting, flexible diradical structures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
