that the molecular energy difference between the planar structure and the boat conformation is small enough for a boat–planar–boat conversion. On the basis of the calculations, the di-π-methane rearrangement of the compounds 14 and 15 is supposed to proceed via the boat conformation with a pseudoaxial phenyl substituent.
