This is the first book to collect together 70 years worth ofexperimental procedures that have been developed to perfom theDiels-Alder reaction. It begins with the fundamental principles andcontains numerous graphical abstracts to present the basic conceptsin a concise and pictorial way. Covering the theory and syntheticapplications of the experimental methods it describes theprocedures and techniques and includes reports on industrialapplications.
* Illustrates the fundamental principles and summarisesexperimental methods used to carry out the Diels-Alderreaction
* Contains physical and catalytic methods to enhance theselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction
* Includes procedures for cycloaddition accomplished inconventional and unconventional media
* Outlines the practical procedures
* Focuses on clean syntheses and green chemistry
* Provides a single source for relevant information and includesover 1,000 references
The Diels-Alder reaction mechanism was first published in 1928 andin the last 70 years has become the most commonly used and studiedmechanism in organic chemistry.
