The spontaneous thermal reactions of electron‐rich dienes with electrophilic olefins lead to both [4+2] cycloadducts and copolymers. The mechanism proposed for the initiation of the copolymerization involves the formation of a 2‐hexene‐1, 6‐diradical. Structure‐reactivity relationships are discussed.
