From: “Cation-Stitching Cascade”: exquisite control of terpene cyclization in cyclooctatin biosynthesis
Computed reaction pathways and potential energy changes for the “cation-stitching cascade” from SM to PD.
Potential energies (kcal/mol, Gibbs free energies calculated at the M062X/6-31G** level) relative to IM1 are shown in parentheses.
