چکیده
Predictions from DFT (B3LYP/6-31 G(d))-computed stereoisomer product distributions for intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reactions have been successfully replicated in the laboratory. Benzo-tethered hexadienyl acrylates generally undergo moderately trans-selective IMDA reactions which, as suggested by DFT calculation, arise from two opposing transition structure (TS) features: stabilising secondary orbital interactions, which are stronger in the cis-TSs, and stabilising pi-conjugative interactions between the benzo moiety and the 1,3-diene component - which are stronger in trans-TSs. Substrates carrying a removable substituent (i.e. Br or TMS) at C3 of the diene or C12 of the aromatic ring are predicted to undergo highly cis-selective thermal IMDA reactions by steric destabilisation of the trans-TS. A substrate carrying a two atom tether between C3 and C12 is predicted to undergo a highly trans-selective intramolecular cycloaddition by destabilisation of the cis-TS. These calculations are borne out experimentally.

A new intramolecular Lewis acid catalyzed hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of N-arylimines 5 with nonactivated olefins tethered to the 2-azadiene system was developed in order to prepare 1,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,lO-octahydroacridine derivatives 6. Both reactivity and cis/ trans selectivity of 6 were mainly dependent on the substitution pattern in the 3-position of the cyclization precursor 5. The type of Lew...

Reactions between conjugated dienols and maleic anhydride provide either cis-fused or trans-fused bicyclic products as major products, depending upon how the reaction is carried out. Simply mixing the two reactants together generally leads to cis-fused lactone acids in thermal reactions which proceed viaintermolecular Diels-Alder reaction followed by intramolecular esterification.

A fascinating aspect of the Diels–Alder reaction is its endo selectivity. This endo preference is much less pronounced in intermolecular cases compared with the intramolecular and transannular Diels–Alder (IMDA and TADA) reactions. Nevertheless, high endo selectivity is observed in the Diels– Alder additions of (E)-1-O-substituted dienes catalyzed by Lewis acids that lead to cis-1,6-disubstitut...
