Abstract

We have undertaken a fairly broad study of how the structure of an anthracene cycloadduct affects the rate of its cycloreversion reaction. Based on the rate constants for retro-Diels- Alder (rDA) reactions of a variety of anthracene-type adducts conducted in diphenyl ether, we draw the following conclusions. The rDA reaction of anthracene cycloadducts is influenced by diene substituents in the following ways:(1) electron-donating groups ...
