Title: Stability Molecules Diels-Alder
Post by: lucykay on January 30, 2018, 09:58:26 PM

Why does having a carbonyl make a s-cis conformation more susceptible to a Diels-Alder pericyclic reaction?

Any thoughts? Is the Diels-Alder reaction predominately ionic or free radical in nature, for instance?
