Baldwin's rulesFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baldwin's rules in organic chemistry are a series ofguidelines outlining the relative favourabilities of ringclosure reactions in alicyclic compounds. They were firstproposed by Jack Baldwin in 1976.[1][2]
Baldwin's rules discuss the relative rates of ring closuresof these various types. These terms are not meant todescribe the absolute probability that a reaction will or will not take place,rather they are used in a relative sense. A reaction that is disfavoured (slow)does not have a rate that is able to compete effectively with an alternativereaction that is favoured (fast). However, the disfavoured product may beobserved, if no alternate reactions are more favoured.
The rules classify ring closures in three ways:
the number of atoms in the newly formed ringinto exo and endo ring closures, depending whether the bond broken during the ring closure is inside(endo) or outside (exo) the ring that is being formedinto tet, trig and dig geometry of the atom being attacked, depending on whether this electrophilic
carbon is tetrahedral (sp3 hybridised), trigonal (sp2 hybridised) or digonal (sp hybridised).
Thus, a ring closure reaction could be classified as, for example, a 5exotrig.
Baldwin discovered that orbital overlap requirements for the formation of bonds favour only certaincombinations of ring size and the exo/endo/dig/trig/tet parameters. Interactive 3D models of several of thesetransition states can be seen here (http://www.chemtube3d.com/Baldwin'sRuleClasses.html) (javarequired).
There are sometimes exceptions to Baldwin's rules. For example, cations often disobey Baldwin's rules, asdo reactions in which a thirdrow atom is included in the ring.

The rules apply when the nucleophile can attack the bond in question in an ideal angle. These angles are180° (Walden inversion) for exotet reactions, 109° (Bürgi–Dunitz angle) for exotrig reaction and 120° forendodig reactions. Angles for nucleophilic attack on alkynes were reviewed and redefined recently.[3] The"acute angle" of attack postulated by Baldwin was replaced with a trajectory similar to the Bürgi–Dunitzangle.[4]

Applications
In one study, sevenmembered rings were constructed in a tandem 5exodig addition reaction / Claisenrearrangement:[5]
A 6endodig pattern was observed in an allene alkyne 1,2addition / Nazarov cyclization tandemcatalysed by a gold compound:[6]

A 5endodig ring closing reaction was part of a synthesis of (+)Preussin:[7]
Rules for enolates
Baldwin's rules also apply to aldol cyclizations involving enolates:[8][9]
The rules are the following:[10]

Exceptions
These rules are based on empirical evidence and numerous "exceptions" are known.[11][12] [13] Examplesinclude:
cyclisations of cationsreactions involving thirdrow atoms, such as sulfur
