The thermal isomerization of vinylcyclopropane to cyclopentene was discovered in 1960 and soon recognized as the simplest known example of w x a 1,3 sigmatropic shift. Experimental observations for the parent rearrangement and for isomerizations shown by substituted systems suggest that diradical tr
## Abstract Donor‐acceptor‐substituted vinylcyclopropanes such as 1a, 3a, 5a, 5b, 7a, 9a, 9b, and 12a smoothly undergo thermal ring enlargement to functionalized cyclopentene derivatives 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 13 at relatively low temperatures (150–190°C) in good yields. This vinylcyclopropane‐cyclope
