12. Although there is a substantially larger number of examples in which careful work gives results in accord with the Skell-Woodworth hypothesis, there are several examples of failure in the stereochemistry of carbene addition. In fact, the Skell-Woodworth hypothesis should be regarded as reasonable intuition rather than sound theory since there is no firm basis for the presumption that rotation about single bonds will necessarily be much more rapid than spin inversion. Indeed, it has been proved that spin inversion plays a central role in triplet carbene cycloaddition. For details see ref 4.

52. Nevertheless, in this respect the theoretical studies of Houk et al. are of interest. Using an ab initio technique these workers have found that for certain systems, interaction of carbene and alkene is sufficiently strong so that there is no enthalpic barrier to product formation, and that no potential energy minimum exists for a complex. For details see ref 17.
