Diels-Alder reactivities of strained and unstrained cycloalkenes with normal and inverse-electron-demand dienes: activation barriers and distortion/interaction analysis.
The Diels-Alder reactions of the cycloalkenes, cyclohexene through cyclopropene, with a series of dienes--1,3-dimethoxybutadiene, cyclopentadiene, 3,6-dimethyltetrazine, and 3,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)tetrazine--were studied with quantum mechanical calculations and compared with experimental values whe...
