- , engaging in conjugation with the fulvene moiety. Conversely, the reaction of phenyl-substituted DCF 2b with 1 under the same reaction conditions selectively affords the corresponding adduct 3b with 64% yield. In 3b, the anilino group is conjugated with the DCV group rather than the fulvene moiety. This

- rate-determining one and that the [1,9]-H shift is the one with the lowest energy barrier. Keywords: acetal; benzindenes; DFT calculations; fulvene; hydrogen shift; Introduction Fulvenes (also known as pentafulvenes), [1][2][3][4] a unique class of trienes, have intrigued chemists for decades due to
- construction of diverse fused ring systems. Other classical pericyclic processes that may potentially occur in fulvene fragments (electrocyclic and ene reactions, sigmatropic rearrangements and shifts) have received less attention, most probably with the only exception of the Claisen rearrangement [16
- ]. Notably, thermally promoted H-shifts remain, to the best of our knowledge, completely unexplored in fulvene frameworks [17][18]. A part of our recent research focused on showing the special ability of cyclic acetalic functions (1,3-dioxolanes, thiolanes, oxathiolanes, dioxanes, dithianes, oxathianes) for
