Abstract
Pentadienyl cation electrocyclizations have played key roles in the syntheses of many complex organic molecules. Herein, theoretical studies on the mechanisms of pentadienyl cation electrocyclizations are reviewed and general principles applicable to the design of such reactions are highlighted.
