22 Rationalizing concertedness M picture alculations (DFT) The unique reactivity associated with 2 might be primarily attributed to a strong σ*(-s 2 ) - π*( = beta ) interaction (or σ*(-)-π*( = beta ) interaction which causes 1) the lowering of the π*( = beta ) energy level (and hence, lowering of the activation energy for the [2+2] addition) and 2) the rehybridization of the π*( = beta ) orbitals (sp3-like, and hence, better overlap between the p orbitals of alkene 1 and allene in the opposite face to -Ts).
