Article Abstract
The regioselectivity and the molecular mechanism of the Diels-Alder reactions between -(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)carboxamides and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were explored based on the ωB97xd/6-311G(d) (PCM) calculations. It was found that the reaction course is determined by polar local interactions. It is interesting that the most favored reaction channel is realized not via classical single-step Diels-Alder mechanism, but according to the stepwise scheme with the intervention of the zwitterionic intermediate. The details of the electron density redistribution along the reaction coordinate were explained using the ELF technique.

Effective removal of trace heavy metal ions from aqueous bodies is a pressing problem and requires significant improvement in the area of absorbent material in terms of removal efficiency and sustainability. We propose an efficient strategy to enhance the adsorption efficiency of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by growing dendrimers on their surface. First, CNTs were pre-functionalized with maleic acid (MA) via Diels-Alder reaction in presence of a deep eutectic solvent under ultrasonication.

Alloc-protected furfuryl amino alcohols derived from furfural and ʟ- or ᴅ-valinol were subjected to Torii-type ester electrosynthesis to obtain the corresponding unsaturated esters. These served as key intermediates to prepare ()- and enantioenriched unsaturated amides by -Alloc deprotection which induced concomitant methoxymethyl group cleavage, to- rearrangement, and isomerization of the double bond. An oxazoline ring formation in the resulting unsaturated amides provided the corresponding enantioenriched vinyloxazoline.

Investigation of the fundamental microscopic processes occurring in organic reactions is essential for optimising both organocatalysts and synthetic strategies. In this study, single-molecule fluorescence microscopy was employed to study the Diels-Alder reaction catalysed by a first-generation MacMillan catalyst, providing direct insights into its kinetic dynamics. This reaction proceeds via a series of reversible processes under equilibrium conditions (S ⇄ IM ⇄ IM → P, IM and IM: N,O-acetal and iminium ion intermediates, respectively).

A new series of dihydronaphthalen-1(2)-one derivatives were synthesized in high yields starting from commercially available 3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one 1a, aromatic aldehydes 2, and diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Reaction of 1a with the aldehydes produced the respective dienones 3, which could cycloadd to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, either stepwise or , under aqueous/organocatalyzed (DMAP) conditions. The respective adducts 4, were produced efficiently a Diels-Alder-double bond isomerization-oxidative aromatization sequence and were characterized based on the analysis of their H and C NMR spectra.
