Abstract: The reaction mechanism for [2s+2a] cycloaddition of acetylene and ethylene was studied by using ab initio at the RHF/3-21Glevel. The result indicates that this reaction process go through the transformation from the translation of reactant to the vibration of product. Thus, the subtitution effect will have an important influence on such a reaction process. The physically visual picture provided by the IRCanalysis gives a convincing evidence for the Woodward-Hoffmann rule.
