The ene reactions of N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) and si
nglet oxygen (O-1(2)) with tetrasubstituted alkenes, follow regioselec
tivity trends governed mainly by 1,3-non bonded interactions (type I)
for the case of PTAD, and mainly by the steric hindrance caused during
the formation of the new double bond (type II) for the case of O-1(2)
. The results are explained hi terms of a ''late'' product forming tra
nsition state of hydrogen abstraction for triazolinediones and an ''ea
rly'' transition st;lte for the analogous singlet oxygen reaction. (C)
