Automization

In chemistry, automation is a special form of isomerization in which the starting material and product do not differ. An example is the automization of bicyclo [5.1.0] octadiene:

The isomerization of 1,5-hexadiene also does not allow any distinction between starting material and product. Experimental data seem plausible to a diradical mechanism for this automization.
