Abstract
In these experiments, which were used in the problem-solving mode, the stereoselectivity of the Diels-Alder cycloaddition of N-phenylmaleimide to furan is deduced by the characteristic splitting patterns in the proton-NMR spectra. The relationship of coupling constants to dihedral angle, as described by the Karplus equation, is illustrated. The data can also be used to demonstrate the concept of kinetic versus thermodynamic control.

First through third generation dendritic bisfuran monomers 6a−6c were prepared in part by the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide−alkyne Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and in turn polymerized ...

A Computational Experiment of the Endo versus Exo Preference in a Diels–Alder Reaction
Christopher N. Rowley and Tom K. Woo , Nick J. MoseyJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (2), 199A Computational Experiment of the Endo versus Exo Preference in a Diels–Alder Reaction
Christopher N. Rowley and Tom K. Woo , Nick J. MoseyJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (2), 199We have developed and tested a computational laboratory that investigates an endo versus exo Diels–Alder cycloaddition. This laboratory employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the cycloaddition of N-phenylmaleimide to furan. The ...
