Abstract
The relationship between two simple Hückel MO perturbation treatments of electrocyclic reactions formerly proposed has been examined. The reason why the two different approaches give the same prediction with regard to the favorable paths of the reactions has been established numerically. A calculation of the thermal ring-closing of butadiene has been carried out, including both sigma and pi electrons.This publication has 56 references indexed in Scilit:
