Abstract
In (Z)-1,3-pentadienes, [1,5]-H migration is suprafacially allowed while fluorine shift in this system
takes place by a Contra Hoffmann antarafacial pathway for which aromaticity is the driving force. If
aromaticity of the transition structure (TS) can drive a reaction towards a disallowed pathway as found
in the case of fluorine, the role of aromatic ring annealed to (Z)-1,3-pentadienes in determining the
reaction pathway and barrier is worth noting. Hence, the combined role of aromaticity of transition
state and the loss in aromaticity of the annealed ring has been explored during the [1,5]-X (X = H, F,
Cl, Br) shifts in aromatic (benzene/naphthalene) annealed 1,3-pentadiene system. Notable correlations
between various aromaticity index NICS(0,1) with activation barriers show that aromaticity of transition
structure in pericyclic reaction can drive the stereochemical course of a reaction. The distinct effect of
fluorine to other halogens is the antara migration while the other halogens (Cl & Br) prefer supramode.
