A Diels-Alder Reaction History and Application: The 1950 Nobel prize in chemistry was awarded to Otto Paul Hermann Diels and Kurt Alder for their breakthrough work on the discovery and development of [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions i. This set of reactions are enormously useful in the synthesis of six membered rings in a single stepii. These are used in many pharmaceutical applications. Tamiflu® is a drug which

cycloaddition reaction‚ also known as Diels-Alder. According to the lab manual‚ this reaction consists of the addition of a diene and a dienophile and that the Diels-Alder reaction builds stereospecific ring compounds with ease (Weldegirma 80). The reaction takes place between the two pi electrons from the dienophile and the 4 pi electrons from the diene; what happens is the bonds react together in order to form new single bonds because they are more stable‚ in terms of energetics (Diels-Alder Reaction).

Diels-Alder Reaction: Synthesis of cis-Norbornene-5‚ 6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride Introduction: The Diels-Alder reaction is a [4+2] cycloaddition of a conjugated diene and a dienophile. This type of reaction was named for Otto Diels and Kurt Alder who were the first to investigate this reaction (Weldegirma‚ 2012). The Diels- Alder reaction is one of the most important reactions in all of organic chemistry because of the applicability of it. This reaction can form
Premium Chemistry Stoichiometry Yield
Introduction: The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most powerful tools used in the preparation of important organic molecules. When two carbon-carbon double bonds are positioned next to one another‚ a conjugated diene is formed. Conjugated dienes undergo a cycloaddition reaction (also called pericyclic addition) with certain double bonds to afford cyclohexenes and related compounds. The reaction of Cyclopentadiene with Maleic anhydride is an example of a Diels-Alder reaction. This reaction forms a six-membered

Retro – modern design&style Every twenty to thirty years‚ the world of design seems to make a comeback‚ but in a slightly better way. Whether it’s is the world of fashion‚ colours or home decor‚ retro style is an eclectic mix of old styles and new forms‚ or new forms with old materials and finishes. From the psychedelic prints of the seventies to the fifties appeal of oversized light fixtures and bubbly forms. I like retro- modern style because it offers me the opportunity

Modern vs. Original Mustang Shelby Do you prefer brand new vehicles or older model vehicles? This is a question often asked and talked about when searching or buying the right vehicle. In this essay I will contrast the differences from the original early model years to the modern manufactured Mustang Shelby as seen today. In my opinion nothing compares to a classic‚ even if it is faster. It all began nearly fifty years ago when automotive legend Carroll Shelby was approached
