Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) has recently been shown to change the rate and
chemoselectivity of ground‐state chemical reactions via the formation of light–matter hybrid …

As mentioned in introductory organic chemistry textbooks, the ideal geometry for a double
bond has the olefinic carbon atoms and the four atoms connected to them in the same plane …

Divergent mechanisms for the skeletal rearrangement and [2+2] cycloaddition of enynes
catalyzed by gold — University of East Anglia Skip to main navigation Skip to search Skip to …

Incorporating hidden length into polymer chains can improve their mechanical properties,
because release of the hidden length under mechanical loads enables localized strain relief …

Three pathways actually compete in metal‐catalyzed cyclizations of enynes in which the
metal selectively activates the alkyne: an endocyclic process and two exo‐cyclizations, one …

Woodward and Hoffman once jested that a very powerful Maxwell demon could seize a
molecule of cyclobutene at its methylene groups and tear it open in a disrotatory fashion to …

Woodward and Hoffmann, in their treatise on orbital symmetry in 1969, stated “Violations.
There are none!” Prinzbach reported in 1978 that the electrocyclization of vinylogous …

In 1965, Woodward and Hoffmann proposed a theory to predict the stereochemistry of
electrocyclic reactions, which, after expansion and generalization, became known as the …

Mechanical forces have previously been used to drive reactions along pathways that violate
the orbital symmetry effects captured in the Woodward–Hoffmann rules. Here, we show that …
