It is mechanistically significant that although sixmembered rings are the usual products from the cyclization of 1, 5-dienes, five-memberedrings also have obtained (a) in the cyclization of 2, 7-dimethyl-2, 6-octadiene (I) 3 and (b) in cyclizations involving attack of an aromatic ring which lead to theformation of variable quantities of spirans as with II (R=H). 4 These results are rationalized easily in the case of I which simply involves a combination of steric and electrical factors favorable to five-membered ring formation and in the case of II the low nucleophilicity of the aromatic system allows the reaction to proceed non-concertedly with the formation of the better initiating carbonium ion. The preference for the formation of six-membered rings in this reaction, ceteris paribus, is well illus-trated by the suppression of spiran formation when R in formulaII is a methyl group. 6
