The kinetics of the 2 + 2 cycloaddition reaction between tetracyanoethylene and 2,5-dimethyl- 2,4-hexadiene in different solvents has been studied by following the disappearance of the intermediate EDA-complex spectrophotometrically. It is concluded that the EDA-complex is transformed through a concerted cyclicpolar transition state to give the vinyl cyclobutane derivative (III). The effects of various solvents on the reaction rates have been analysed using a multiparameter approach. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0 and ΔS0), of EDA-complex formation and the activation parameters (ΔH# and ΔS#) of the cycloaddition have been discussed.
