Extending the Curtin-Hammett principle: the relative rates of intramolecular cyclisation versus intermolecular processes

A common tactic for synthetic chemists is to employ high dilution to ensure cyclisation is favoured over intermolecular processes. This intuitive strategy is ubiquitous in synthesis, although a quantitative analysis of these systems has not previously been proposed. In this Letter a theoretical anal...
