23. Though the reasons for these discrepancies are not understood, one possible interpretation is the relatively low activation energies for the four-membered ring formation (to give 9 from 7 or 10 from 9) compared to those for the five-membered ring formation (to give 8 from 7 or 11 from 9), which result from the proximity effect. Namely, the calculated distance between the bond-forming carbon atoms in 7 is shorter for the four-membered ring formation (2.92Å) than for the five-membered ring formation (3.69Å). In the case of 9, the corresponding distances are 2.82 and 3.24Å, respectively. Though this explanation contradicts Baldwin's rules (i.e., 4-exo-dig vs. 5-endo-dig modes), the steric constraint resulting from the medium-sized rings of 7 and 9 would prevail., J. E. Baldwin, J.
