The formation of dimethyl 1-(carbazol-9-yl)-2,2-dicyanocyclobutane-3,3-dicarboxylate through a tetramethylene zwitterionic intermediate (T) by the reaction of N-vinylcarbazole (NVCZ) and dimethyl 2,2-dicyanoethylene-1;1-dicarboxylate in nonpolar and moderately polar solvents was studied kinetically. Two competitive formation paths of T were found: (a) unimolecular transformations of the electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex and (b) bimolecular reaction between the EDA complex and free NVCZ. Contributions of these two reactions to the overall reaction are influenced by the solvent and the concentration of NVCZ. The third-order kinetics is explained on the basis that the contribution of the cation-radical form to the transition state can be enhanced by an additional donor molecule through charge resonance in a thermal triplex. This may be a general mode of catalysis for reactions of electron-rich unsaturated molecules with electrophiles.
