Geminal Repulsion Disrupts Diels–Alder Reactions of Geminally Substituted Cyclopentadienes and 4H-Pyrazoles

We have experimentally and computationally explored the sluggish Diels-Alder reactivities of the geminally substituted 5,5-dimethylcyclopentadiene and 5,5-dimethyl-2,3-diazacyclopentadiene (4,4-dimethyl-4H-pyrazole) scaffolds. We found that geminal dimethylation of 1,2,3,4-tetramethylcyclopentadiene...
