As a model for the squalene cyclization the interaction between a methyl cation or a methyl radical and two double bonds has been studied using the CNDO/2 and INDO method. In both cases bond formation between the CH 3 ‐group and one double bond is facilitated by a second one, but not in a concerted way.
