Unravelling the strain-promoted [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of phenyl azide with cycloalkynes from the molecular electron density theory perspective
Keyword(s):
The increase of the strain not only increases the reaction rate and the exothermic character of these reactions, but also changes the mechanism for the small cycloalkynes from a non-polar to a polar reaction.
