Although there is general agreement that the chair Cope re-arrangement of 1, 5-hexadiene passes through a species with C2h symmetry, 1 2 the geometry and nature of this species remain con-troversial. Both MINDO/23 and MINDO/34 calculations found this species to be an intermediate, with bond lengths, R, between the two allyl fragments of about 1.61 Á. More recent AMI calculations gave a geometry for the non-C2* transition state that was very close to that of the C2h intermediate, 5 suggesting the the Cope rearrangement might be a concerted reaction and that the (1)(a) Institute for Molecular Science,(b) University of Washington,(c) Visiting Scientist, Institute for Molecular Science, 1985.(2) Review: Gajewski, J.
