Abstract
The thermal cycloelimination of carbon monoxide from dicyclopentadiene-1,8-dione is a kinetically well-behaved first-order reaction. At 380 °K the activation parameters for the process are ΔH≠ = 34.5 ± 0.8 kcal mole−1 and ΔS≠ = +9.8 ± 2.3 e.u. mole−1. Application of the theoretical proposals of Woodward and Hoffmann indicates that this necessarily disrotatory decarbonylation may be concerted.
