Abstract

The recently introduced similarity approach to chemical reactivity was applied to the systematic investigation of the substituent effect on pericyclic reactivity. The agreement of the resulting predictions with available experimental or theoretical data confirms that the basic features of the substituent effect are correctly reproduced by the model.
