<p>The torquoselectivity, the inward or outward ring opening of 3-substituted cyclobutenes, is conventionally guided by the donor and/or acceptor ability of the substituent (S). It is typically predicted by estimating the respective ring opening transition state (TS) barriers. While there is no known dissent in regard to the outward rotation of electron-rich substituents from the approaches of TS calculations, the inward rotation was predicted for some electron-accepting substituents and outward for others. To address this divergence in predicting the torquoselectivity, we have used reliable orbital descriptors through natural bond orbital theoretical calculations and demonstrated that (a) interactions <i>n</i><i><sub>S</sub></i>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> for a lone pair containing substituent, s<sub>S</sub>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> for a s-donor substituent, s<sub>C3C4</sub>→p*<sub>S</sub> for a resonance-accepting substituent and s<sub>C3C4</sub>→s*<sub>S</sub> for a s-acceptor substituent constitute the true electronic controls of torquoselectivity, and (b) reversibility of the ring opening event is an additional important contributor to the observed product distribution.</p>

AbstractFor some, the states and processes involved in the realisation of phenomenal consciousness are not confined to within the organismic boundaries of the experiencing subject. Instead, the sub-personal basis of perceptual experience can, and does, extend beyond the brain and body to implicate environmental elements through one’s interaction with the world. These claims are met by proponents of predictive processing, who propose that perception and imagination should be understood as a product of the same internal mechanisms. On this view, as visually imagining is not considered to be world-involving, it is assumed that world-involvement must not be essential for perception, and thus internalism about the sub-personal basis is true. However, the argument for internalism from the unity of perception and imagination relies for its strength on a questionable conception of the relationship between the two experiential states. I argue that proponents of the predictive approach are guilty of harbouring an implicit commitment to the common kind assumption which does not follow trivially from their framework. That is, the assumption that perception and imagination are of the same fundamental kind of mental event. I will argue that there are plausible alternative ways of conceiving of this relationship without drawing internalist metaphysical conclusions from their psychological theory. Thus, the internalist owes the debate clarification of this relationship and further argumentation to secure their position.
