All cycloadditions follow the Cram Chelate rule. ote added in proof A model was suggested which would explain all of the results presented (except Michael additions) m cleophilic attack on olefins always follows Cram's steric rule, where P = m for alkoxy substituted olefins. In the absence of "charge transfer" mechanisms, Cram's rule generally applies for nucleophiles and nucleophilic radicals. L This disregards any electronic component, but predicts the correct product. In no case does attack of the preferred A-1,3 strain conformer predominate. J. Leighton, private communication /12/ PM
