40. 2, AcOEt/hexane, 3:7), giving compound 5 (279 mg, 63%) as a colorless oil.
41. In fact, the LUMO energy of the compound without phenyl substituent is lower than that of LUMO+1 for compound with the phenyl group. The addition must take place at LUMO+1, in order to have the appropriate orbital coefficients with lobes on the vinyl group. Orbitals were modeled by Fujitsu, CAChe Pro, version 6.1, based on PM3 Hamiltonian.
