The cyclization reactions of a phenanthreno-fused azo-ene-yne compound have been studied both experimentally and computationally. Experimental results show that this system is prone to dimerization, more so than previously studied naphthalene- and benzene-based analogues. Calculations reveal that pyrazoles and arene-fused pyrazoles strongly stabilize carbenes in the 5-position through "coarctate conjugation", suggesting a stationary concentration of the carbenes/carbenoids during cyclization tha ...[more]
