Diels–Alder reactions in confined spaces: the influence of catalyst structure and the nature of active sites for the retro-Diels–Alder reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diels-Alder cycloaddition between cyclopentadiene and p-benzoquinone has been studied in the confined space of a pure silica zeolite Beta and the impact on reaction rate due to the concentration effect within the pore and diffusion limitations are discussed. Introduction of Lewis or Brønsted acid sites on the walls of the zeolite strongly increases the reaction rate. However, contrary to what occurs with mesoporous molecular sieves (MCM-41), Beta zeolite does not catalyse the retro-Diels-Alder reaction, resulting in a highly selective catalyst for the cycloaddition reaction.

The reversibility of the Diels-Alder reaction can be used advantageously in polyurethane materials to endow them with recyclable, thermally reversible properties and self-healing ability to expand their application range. In this paper, linear and crosslink polyurethanes based on HTPB, which exhibit thermal reversibility through Diels-Alder and retro Diels-Alder reactions, were prepared and cha...

متن کاملComputational design of an enzyme catalyst for a stereoselective bimolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
The Diels-Alder reaction is a cornerstone in organic synthesis, forming two carbon-carbon bonds and up to four new stereogenic centers in one step. No naturally occurring enzymes have been shown to catalyze bimolecular Diels-Alder reactions. We describe the de novo computational design and experimental characterization of enzymes catalyzing a bimolecular Diels-Alder reaction with high stereosel...
