25. We note that according to our calculations the transformation of 2 to 1 is endergonic by 4.7 kcal/mol. If this is correct, then the conversion of 2 to 1 could only have occurred under photostationary conditions (cf. cyclobutene in the photochemical ring-closure of 1,3-butadiene).

Scalar couplings in cyclopentadienyl systems are typically much larger between adjacent protons linked by a C-C double bond (vs a single bond); see: cyclopentadiene (48) and 5-methylene-1,3-cyclopentadiene (49).
