摘要：

The title reaction constitutes a reliable model of a nonconcerted, diradical mechanism closely related to a Cope rearrangement. Its activation parameters relate to a transition state approximated by 1,5-diphenylcyclohepta-1,5-diyl (7). Force field calculations of various conformations of the diradical model the reaction path and reproduce the “experimental” enthalpy of formation of the rate-determining transition state. The experimental enthalpy of activation of the “degenerate” Cope rearrangement of 2,5-diphenylhexa-1,5-diene-1,6-13C2 (2) is essentially identical with an enthalpy of activation calculated by force field for the model 1,4-diphenylcyclohexa-1,4-diyl (6). Strong support is there by provided for this Cope rearrangement proceeding by a mechanism of the “continuous diradical” or “diradical-as-transition-state” type. © 1990, American Chemical Society.
