The kinetics and thermodynamics of the electrocyclization of vinylallenes are favorably influenced when a silyl substituent is introduced into the open‐chain compound. A series of vinylallenes containing a silyl group at the vinyl terminus ( 1 ) gave good yields of the corresponding cyclobutenes 2 when heated at reflux in xylene. A theoretical explanation for this observation remains elusive.
