Benzenoid double bonds readily participate in pericyclic reactions , but this is often masked by a rapid back reaction. It has now been possible to demonstrate this phenomenon in the case of the hydrocarbon 1 deuteriated in position 4; at 100°C, equilibrium is established between 1 and its labeled isomer 1 ′ via the o ‐quinoid intermediates 2 and 2 ′ ( K 1.13, k(100.6°C) = (7.45 ± 0.06)xl0 −5 s −1 ).
