28. The models used to describe the reactions of vinylcarbenoids have assumed that the reaction occurs through a particular carbenoid conformation. For example, the combined C-H activation/Cope rearrangement and a [3 + 2] cycloaddition have been proposed to involve a reaction where the vinylcarbenoid is in the s-cis conformation. For details, see: (a) Davies, H. M. L.; Jin, Q. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 10862.
29. (b) Davies, H. M. L.; Xiang, B.; Kong, N.; Stafford, D. G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 146. Recently, we proposed that the [3 + 2] annulation of indoles by vinylcarbenoids may occur via the s-trans conformation of the vinylcarbenoid. For details, see:
