Reactions can be
either ring-opening or ring-closing (
electrocyclization).

- 3-butadiene (a 4π-
electrocyclization) is [π4a]. The
conrotatory electrocyclic ring
opening of
cyclobutene (a
reverse 4π-
electrocyclization) is [σ2a + π2s]...

activation energy of the
electrocyclization is 73 kJ mol−1 for stilbene. Both
processes are
often applied in molecular...

azomethine ylides are
capable of [1,5]- and [1,7]-
electrocyclizations. An
