The kinetics of aminium salt initiated cycloadditions has been studied and the previously proposed cation-radical chain mechanism verified. Temperature-dependence studies have provided the first experimental measurements of activation parameters for cation radical/neutral cycloadditions. Consistent with theoretical calculations, these reactions have extraordinarily low (< 5 kcal/mol) activation energies. The rate retardation engendered by added tris (4-bromophenyl) amine is observed to be specific for cation-radical chain mechanisms, as opposed to, eg, Bronsted acid-catalyzed mechanisms and is proposed as a general kinetic criterionfor the cation-radical chain mechanism.Potent catalysis/initiation of a variety of Diels-Alder and cy-clobutanation reactions by triarylaminium salts has been observed in this laboratory1" 4 567and interpreted in terms of a cation-radical chain mechanism. 1, 5 The observation that most of these same cycloadditions can be accomplished under photosensitized elec-tron-transfer (PET) conditions well-known to generate cation radicals lends strong support to this mechanistic proposal. 6, 7 The aminium salt and PET-induced reactions exhibit remarkable
