Abstract:SOPHISTICATED stereochemical and kinetic arguments continue to be used to show whether reactions are concerted or not, and hence whether the principles of orbital symmetry conservation' are applicable.Orbital Symmetry Correlations.-The tendency to maintain bonding governs the complex motions of molecules in the course of reactions.2 This will direct the nuclear motions which may or may not be the least-motion ones. The nonleast-motion paths will often, however, be discriminated against by 'extrasymmetric facto… Show more
