Kinetic measurements show that despite their polar nature, cycloaddition reactions of (E)-3,3,3-trichloro-1-nitroprop-1-ene with ketonitrones take place according to a mechanism that proceeds without intervention of zwitterionic intermediate. This is indicated by the values of activation parameters (activation enthalpy, activation entropy) and the nature of the kinetic solvent effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
