Reaction Mechanism of Tetrachloro-o-Benzoquinone and 6,6-Dimethylfulvene: Ambimodal Transition States and Substituent Effects on Periselectivity.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116842

The reaction mechanism of tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone with 6,6-dimethylfulvene involves ambimodal transition states that can lead to different types of adducts, and substituent effects impact the periselectivity of the reaction.
