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 ...
The Diels-Alder reaction is a classic transformation that typically marries a diene (with four π electrons) and an alkene (with two π electrons) to form a six-membered ring—it’s known as a [4+2] ...
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 ...
