G. Mehta et al., STEREOELECTRONIC CONTROL OF COPE REARRANGEMENT ENERGETICS THROUGH REMOTE DOUBLE-BONDS IN NOVEL, RIGID POLYCYCLIC FRAMES, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (14), 1993, pp. 1539-1541
The presence and orientation of remote double bonds are shown to compl
etely alter the shapes of Cope rearrangement energy profiles in a hept
