摘要
(Figure Presented) Borderline cases: Differentiating between pericyclic and pseudopericyclic reactions is controversial. The authors analyze the electron distribution of the transition state of some known and some controversial reactions by means of the electron localization function (ELF) to elucidate their mechanism (see figure). This analysis provides a definitive criterion to distinguish between both electrocyclic processes. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
