RT Book,_Section T1 On the Mechanism of Rhodium-Catalyzed [6+2] Cycloaddition of 2-Vinylcylobutanones and Alknenes A1 Montero Campillo, María de la Merced A1 Cabaleiro Lago, Enrique Manuel A1 Rodríguez Otero, Jesús AB The intramolecular [6+2] cycloaddition mechanism of 2­vinylcyclobutanones and alkenes catalyzed by the [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 dimer has been studied using density functional theory, comparing this multistep process with the one­step reaction in absence of catalyst. This possible mechanism agrees with what was previously experimentally suggested. Calculations have also allowed to explain the selectivity of the reaction PB MDPI SN 3-906980-19-7 YR 2007 FD 2007 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26833 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26833 LA eng NO Montero­ Campillo, M.M.; Cabaleiro ­Lago, E.M.; Rodríguez ­Otero, J.
