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

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

comes to organic chemistry and the synthesis of specific products there is an abundant amount of routes that can be taken and still get you the same result. For the following experiment‚ the main focus is the use of a 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

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

EXPERIMENT OBJECTIVE The aim of this experiment is synthesize hexaphenylbenzene via an aldol condensation reaction‚ followed by a Diels-Alder [4+2] cycloaddtion. This is final step in the multistep synthesis pathway to form hexaphenylbenzene‚ and uses the products of the previous experiments: benzil and diphenylacetylene REACTION DIAGRAM TABLE OF REAGENTS BENZIL DIBENZYL KETONE TRITON B 40wt% IN METHANOL (1.79 M) TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL TETRAPHENYL-CYCLOPENTA-DIENONE DIPHENYL ACETYLENE

The infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of a O-H group with a stretch at 2948.03 1/cm and the presence of C=O with a stretch at 1698.93 1/cm. Melting point determination found the melting point range of the products to be 149.2-164.1 for the bicyclic anhydride and 169.4-179.5 for the endo-cis‚diacid.
