Small-ring compounds—XXXVIII: Calculations of the relative stabilities of intermediates in the interconversion reactions of cyclopropylcarbinyl, cyclobutyl, and allylcarbinyl derivatives by the LCAO method

Abstract

The simple LCAO method with corrections for angle strain indicates that bicyclobutonium cations are likely to be more stable than homoallylic cations. The reverse is predicted to be true for the corresponding free-radical and anionic derivatives. The results are in accord with experiment.
