Abstract: | A significant acceleration effect of a beta-silicon atom was observed on the electrocyclic ring-opening reaction of benzocyclobutene derivatives to form o-quinodimethanes. This acceleration effect could be attributed to an electronic sigma-donating nature of the C(alpha)-Si(beta) bond, associated with alpha-anion driven pericyclic reactions. |
