Cheletropic Addition of SO

A cheletropic reaction has been defined as a process in which two sigma bonds which are directed to a single atom of a ring are made or broken concertedly. The number of pi-bonds decrease or increase by one, depending on the direction of the reaction (ring-forming or ring-opening). An example is the reversible addition of sulfur dioxide to 1,3-butadiene shown here.

H = 16.5 kcal/mole

The direction taken by this reaction depends upon the temperature. Below 100 C the equilibrium favors the addition product, the standard heat of reaction being 16.5 kcal/mole. Above 100 C the cyclic sulfone decomposes to 1,3-butadiene. The equilibrium constant is close to unity at 100 C. If we assume this is true, the entropy change is easily calculated using the equations:
G = RTlnK = 2.303RTlogK G = H TS

Since G = 0 when Keq = 1, S = 16,500/373 = 44.24 cal/ K mole. At 25 C the G = -3.3 kcal/mole, corresponding to a Keq = 270.
