25. Friedel-Crafts acylation of alkenes with β,γ-unsaturated acid chlorides produces, among other products, cyclohexenones. The formation of cyclohexenones was rationalized by electrocyclization of intermediate aluminum trienolates: Faure, R.; Pommier, A.; Pons, J. M.; Rajzmann, M.; Santelli, M.

30. Aside from the stereochemical probe, it is hard to distinguish between the two mechanistic pathways because orbital interactions that favor Michael-type addition also enhance electrocyclization: Davies, I. W.; Marcoux, J.-F.; Kuethe, J. T.; Lankshear, M. D.; Taylor, J. D. O.; Tsou, N.; Dormer, P. G.; Hughes, D. L.; Houk, K. N.; Guner, V. J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 1298-1308.
31. The same ratio of isomers was obtained when a sample of pure trans-15 was submitted to the cyclization conditions.
