Experimental Diels-Alder reactivities of cycloalkenones and cyclic dienes explained through transition-state distortion energies.
Quantum chemical calculations are used to investigate the experimentally measured reactivities of cyclic dienes and cycloalkenones in the Diels-Alder reaction. The interaction energies (red) are nearly constant; differences arise in changes in distortion energies of both dienophile (blue) and diene...
