Abstract
- For the hydrogen transfer of phenalene, a bimolecular ene-like mechanism is proposed, which is preferable over the hypothesized unimolecular rearrangement in the literature. Unique SOMO–SOMO π-bonding of phenalenyl reduces the barriers of pericyclic reactions significantly. π-bonding between radicals is being recognized as a novel type of bonding interaction. This paper adds to the use of this interaction by pointing out its effect on reaction barriers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
