✦ Synopsis

An equation has been derived in terms of inherent electronegativity of the active centres, which can be utilised to determine the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition reactions.

haroductioo

: Regioselectivity of cycloaddition reactions1 was determined previously by the methods2 which were applicable to M.Os and inapplicable to GVB orbitals3.

But pericyclic reactions can be explained both in terms of M.0s.l and GVB orbitalsl.
