abstract = {There has been a long-standing discussion in the literature
whether Diels-Alder cy- cloadditions and their ionic
variants, polar cycloadditions, proceed via stepwise or con-
certed reaction mechanisms. Here, we adopt a new
experimental approach to explore the mechanistic details of
these reactions by probing its conformational specificities
in the entrance channel using conformationally controlled
molecular beams combined with ion-trapping techniques. For
the model polar cycloaddition of 2,3-dibromo-1,3-butadiene
with propene ions, we found that two conformers of the
diene, gauche and s-trans, are reactive with capture-limited
reaction rates. Aided by theoretical calculations, this
find- ing is rationalised by a simultaneous competition of
both concerted and stepwise reaction pathways thus revealing
an interesting mechanistic borderline case. The present
study illustrates the utility of experiments with controlled
molecules under single-collision conditions in the gas phase
for unravelling mechanistic details of reactions relevant
for synthetic chemistry.},
