Organic Chemistry II Lab Diels Alder Reaction Purpose: In this experiment a Diels-Alder reaction was used to form the products. Cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride were reacted together to form cis-Norbornene-5‚6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride. 7-oxabicyclo{2.2.1}hept-5-ene-2‚3-dicarboxylic anhydride was also produced through a Diels-Alder reaction with the combination of furan and maleic anhydride.

In this experiment the objective was to perform a Diels-Alder reaction using cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride to synthesize the product‚ cis-Norbornene-5‚6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride. The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry and was first investigated by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder in Germany. It is a [4+2] concerted cycloaddition reaction which involves a diene and a dienophile. The Diel-Alder reaction are mainly used for creating new carbon-carbon bonds

THEORY: The Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction was discovered by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder and is very useful in the synthesis of polycyclic compounds. The Diels-Alder reaction can be described as: [4+2] cycloaddition- a diene with 4 π electrons + 2π electrons from the dienophile; a pericyclic concerted reaction- meaning the reaction occurs in a single step (no intermediates) and involves a cyclic redistribution of bonding electrons. In order for a Diels-Alder reaction to take place

Introduction The Diels-Alder Reaction is a reaction used in organic chemistry that builds rings very efficiently (1)‚ this cycloaddition process allows for the stereoselective formation of cyclohexene rings possessing as many as four contiguous stereogenic centers (3). This reaction occurs without intermediates‚ in a single step‚ which explains the stereospecificity due to substituents not being given the chance to “switch around”. (1)These six membered rings are synthesized by reacting a dienophile

This reaction is best used for making six membered rings with different functional groups. The reaction is called a 4+2 cycloaddition because a ring is formed

Lab #4 May 26‚ 2015 Diels Alder Reaction Introduction: Diels Alder Reaction is the reaction of a diene with a species capable of reacting with the diene‚ the dienophile. A diene is a hydrocarbon that contains two carbon double bonds‚ while a dienophile is an electron-deficient alkene. The Diels-Alder is also called a [4+2] cycloaddition because a ring is formed by the interaction of four pi electrons of the alkene with two pi electrons of the alkene or alkyne. The product of the Diels-Alder

Formation of Diels-Alder Reactions The Diels-Alder reactions consist of a reversible dienophile and diene all in a one-step reaction initiated by head. These reactions form a six membered ring with at least one pi bond and two sigma bonds‚ making the reaction exothermic. The goal of the first part of these experiments is to make products that have a greater aromatic stabilization. In 1928‚ Otto Paul Hermann Diels and Kurt Alder first documented this type of reaction‚ hence the name Diels-Alder reactions
