43. This selectivity for the cyclic alkene in limonene, as well as the lack of reactivity observed with 1-methylcyclopentene, cyclooctene, and in control experiments performed with other cyclic alkenes (α-pinene and 2-carene, for example) strongly suggest the intermediacy of highly strained (E)-cycloalkene intermediates. We also prefer this rationale over other possibilities, including reactivity arising from azole excited states being more acidic, for example.
44. In agreement with this rationale, the limonene recovered from the reaction shown in eq 8 was found to be racemic. See the experimental details.
