Dynamic intermediates in the radical cation diels–alder cycloaddition: lifetime and suprafacial stereoselectivity

Cation radical Diels–Alder cycloadditions proceed via an acyclic intermediate that exists on a flat region of the potential energy surface. Competition between cyclization and C–C bond rotation results in varying levels of suprafacial stereoselectivity. Quasi-classical trajectories were used to expl...
