Continuous-flow retro-Diels–Alder reaction: an efficient method for the preparation of pyrimidinone derivatives

The syntheses of various pyrimidinones as potentially bioactive products by means of the highly controlled continuous-flow retro-Diels-Alder reaction of condensed pyrimidinone derivatives are presented. Noteworthy, the use of this approach allowed us to rapidly screen a selection of conditions and quickly confirm the viability of preparing the desired pyrimidinones in short reaction times. Yiel...

A direct route to 6,6'-disubstituted-2,2'-bipyridines by double Diels-Alder/retro Diels-Alder reaction of 5,5'-bi-1,2,4-triazines.

Inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction of functionalized 5,5'-bi-1,2,4- triazines with bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene in boiling p-cymene leads to a range of 6,6'- disubstituted-2,2'-bipyridines in good yield.

The Diels-Alder Reaction: an Update

In this update on the Diels-Alder reaction we would like to present an overview on how this very important reaction has progressed in the last decade, since the last spate of monographs and reviews appeared in the literature, and which deal with the reaction in the overall sense. Initially we present the Diels-Alder reaction in a generalised form, much as discovered over seventy years ago, so t...

Asymmetric Catalysis of Diels–Alder Reaction

The Diels–Alder (DA) reaction (or “diene synthesis”) between a diene and a dienophile generates two s bonds stereoselectively and up to four chiral centers in a single step to afford six-membered cyclic compounds. This cycloaddition reaction named after Professor Otto Paul Hermann Diels (1876–1954) and his student Kurt Alder (1902–1958) was discovered in 1928 during studies on the reaction of b...
