No reaction is more elegant, more heartwarmingly satisfying than the Diels-Alder reaction. No reaction is also more nuanced. It appears deceptively simple and yet has the ability to create immense ...

In a discovery that might come as a shock—or, at the very least, an electric shock—chemists have found that a properly oriented external electric field can nudge two reagents to hook up with one ...

Diels-Alder reloaded: More effective with electricity The chemist cites the Diels-Alder reaction as a current example. For three quarters of a century, it has had a firm place in organic chemistry, ...

Chiral dirhodium(II) carboxamidates are highly efficient catalysts for reactions between a variety of aldehydes and activated dienes. Catalyst loadings as low at 0.01 mol % have been realized with ...

A computational study focused on the mechanistic pathway of the SpnF-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction leading to Spinosyn A -- tetracyclic natural insecticide produced by the cells of the bacterium ...

Prof. Okujima, in collaboration with Prof. Kobayashi at Shinshu University, reported the synthesis, molecular structure, optical properties and electronic structure of unusual phenanthrene-fused ...

First reported in 1928 by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder, the Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most relevant transformations in organic chemistry. Its capacity to generate six-membered rings enables the ...
