Abstract

Diels-Alder provide vast synthetic versatility, for they are highly stereoselective and are responsive kinetically and regiochemically to substituent effects and reaction conditions. Retro-Diels-Alder reactions (retrodiene reactions) also have substantial synthetic~ tility.~ Depending on the full array of substituents and the reaction conditions, the mechanism of a particular Diels-Alder or retro-Diels-Alder reaction may be considered concerted or to ...
