Comments:
1. Stabilization of the positive chargeon the terminal carbons increasesthe energy of activation and lowersthe heat of cyclization
2. Stabilization of the positive charge on the carbons β to the hydroxyl groupdecreases the energy of activation andincreases the heat of cyclization
3. Steric effects should also be considered

Conclusions on Directed-Nazarov Reactions
Regiocontrol is possible through directed-Nazarov reactions
Silicon and tin can function as a β-cation stabilizer and also as electrofuge to control the
introduction of the double bond of the cyclopentenone product in a position depending on the
placement of silicon or tin
Fluorine can function as a β-cation destabilizer and as a nucleofuge to control the introduction
of a double bond away from fluorine in the cyclopentenone product

Limitations of the Carbohydrate-Derived Auxiliary Approach
Nucleophilicity of the lithiated allenes was unsatisfactory
Erosion of the %ee took place upon scale up of the reaction
Preparation of carbohydrate-derived auxiliary was tedious on large scale

Probably Sc is binding to both oxygens forming a distorted complex structure and predisposing the orbital lobes to favor
clockwise conrotation
Conclusions on Asymmetric Nazarov Reaction
Both substrate and reagent controlled asymmetric induction is possible
Chiral auxiliaries induce asymmetry by favoring one mode of conrotation
Chiral catalysts distort the divinyl ketone to favor one conrotation over the other

Conclusions
Classical acid catalyzed Nazarov cyclization reaction is a 4π conrotatoryelectrocyclic ring closure reaction of divinyl ketones
Directed Nazarov reactions attempt to overcome the problems related to regiocontrol of the double bond in the product
Asymmetric Nazarov reactions provide a means to selectively favor one modeof conrotation in the electrocyclic ring closure
Polarization of the precursor divinyl ketone gives the Nazarov product with regiocontrol under milder conditions
Trapping of the oxyallylic intermediate of the reaction can be done both intra and intermolecularly and that helps to conserve the stereocenters created by the electrocyclic ring closure
