MINDO/2? and MINDO/3 studies of the electrocyclic conversion of Dewar benzene into benzene

Abstract
MINDO/3 studies are reported of the electrocyclic conversion of Dewar benzene, and of its 1-chloro-and 1,4-dichloro-derivatives, into benzene, chlorobenzene, and p-dichlorobenzene, the calculated activation energies being 114·2, 104·1, and 104·1 kJ mol–1 respectively; the transition states of these ‘forbidden’ reactions show no peculiar features.
