The Diels-Alder reaction is the most iconic organic chemistry reaction. Scientists now report on exactly how this chemical reaction, discovered in 1928, occurs. In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt ...

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 ...

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 ...

The use of 1-hydrazinodienes in the Diels-Alder reaction is adding a new twist to the well-studied reaction: The cycloaddition product may be driven to rearrange, according to research by Princeton ...

Calculations and model reactions show that a simple iterative Diels–Alder strategy is a viable method for the synthesis of most single-chirality carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes have properties that ...

Until recently it was assumed that cycloaddition reactions (also widely known as the Diels-Alder reactions) do not occur in nature, since corresponding enzymes were never discovered. However, it was ...

For the synthesis of optically active compounds, chiral catalysts have attracted much attention because large quantities of optically active molecules can be prepared from a small amount of a chiral ...
