A Generalized Selection Rule for Pericyclic Reactions.

He, Fu-Cheng; Pfeiffer, Gary V.

Journal of Chemical Education, v61 n11 p948-51 Nov 1984

Describes a convenient procedure, the Odd-Even Rule, for predicting the allowedness of forbiddenness of ground-state, pericyclic reactions. The rule is applied to a number of specific reactions. In contrast to the Woodward-Hoffman approach, the application to each reaction is always the same. (JN)
