β¦ Synopsis
The mode of the thermal cyclization of enyne-allenes 1 depends on ring strain effects: when the ene functionality is part of a benzene, cyclohexene or cycloheptene ring the novel C2-C6biradicrd cyclization is observed, while when it is part of a cyclopentene ring the Myers-Saito cycloaromatization is registered. @ 1997Elsevier ScienceLtd.
Recent results from our laboratory2'3and later from two other groups4'5have unambiguously established that the well-known Myers-Saito cycloaromatization6'7of enyne-allenes via biradical B can be completely replaced by a novel C2-C6cyclization as soon as aryl groups or sterically demanding substituents are affixed to the acetylene terminus. Mechanistic investigationss and DFT calculations indicate that the novel cycliration
