Bismaleimide Resins via EI E Reaction. The copolymerization of a BMI with o,o -diallylbisphenol A [1745-89-7] (DABA) is a resia coacept that has beea widely accepted by the iadustry because BMI—DABA bleads are tacky soHds at room temperature and therefore provide all the desired properties ia prepregs, such as drape and tack, similar to epoxies. Crystalline BMI can easily be blended with DABA, which is a high viscosity fluid at room temperature. Upon heating BMI—DABA blends copolymerize via complex ENE and Diels-Alder reactions as outlined ia Eigure 8. 

The dimer acids [61788-89-4] 9- and 10-carboxystearic acids, and C-21 dicarboxylic acids are products resulting from three different reactions of C-18 unsaturated fatty acids. These reactions are, respectively, self-condensation, reaction with carbon monoxide followed by oxidation of the resulting 9- or 10-formylstearic acid (or, alternatively, by hydrocarboxylation of the unsaturated fatty acid), and Diels-Alder reaction with acryUc acid. The starting materials for these reactions have been almost exclusively tall oil fatty acids or, to a lesser degree, oleic acid, although other unsaturated fatty acid feedstocks can be used (see Carboxylic acids. Fatty acids from tall oil Tall oil). 

Because the fluorine substituents both inductively and hyperconjugatively withdraw electron density from the C(2)-C(3) tt bond, the LUMO is located there, and Diels-Alder reactions take place exclusively with this bond [25] 1,1 -Difluoro allene and fluoroallene reaet readily with a large selection of cyclic and acyclic dienes, and acyclic dienes, [2+2] cycloadditions compete with the Diels-Alder processes As shown in the example in equation 79, a significantly different regiochemistry is observed for the [2+4] cycloaddition compared with the [2+2]...

Honk et al. concluded that this FMO model imply increased asynchronicity in the bond-making processes, and if first-order effects (electrostatic interactions) were also considered, a two-step mechanisms, with cationic intermediates become possible in some cases. It was stated that the model proposed here shows that the phenomena generally observed on catalysis can be explained by the concerted mechanism, and allows predictions of the effect of Lewis acid on the rates, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity of all concerted cycloadditions, including those of ketenes, 1,3-dipoles, and Diels-Alder reactions with inverse electron-demand [2],... 

From the foregoing it can be seen that the nitro group can be activated for C-C bond formation in various ways. Classically the nitro group facilitates the Henry reaction, Michael addition, and Diels-Alder reaction. Komblum and Russell have introduced a new substitution reaction, which proceeds via a one electron-transfer process The Spj l reactions have...

The conversion of primary or secondary nitro compounds into aldehydes or ketones is normally accomplished by use of the Nef reaction, which is one of the most important transformations of nitro compounds. Various methods have been introduced forthis transformation (1) treatment of nitronates with acid, (2) oxidation of nitronates, and (3) reduction of nitroalkenes. Although a comprehensive review is available,3 important procedures and improved methods published after this review are presented in this chapter. The Nef reaction after the nitro-aldol (Henry reaction), Michael addition, or Diels-Alder reaction using nitroalkanes or nitroalkenes has been used extensively in organic synthesis of various substrates, including complicated natural products. Some of them are presented in this chapter other examples are presented in the chapters discussing the Henry reaction (Chapter 3), Michael addition (Chapter 4), and Diels-Alder reaction (Chapter 8). 

The fifth chapter l-(2,4,6-Trialkylphenyl)-lH-Phospholes with a Flattened P-Pyramid Synthesis and Reactivity presents the interesting chemistry of these compounds including electrophilic substitution and Diels-Alder reactions and sigmatropic rearrangements, making a variety of organophosphorus compounds accessible. 

Annual Volume 71 contains 30 checked and edited experimental procedures that illustrate important new synthetic methods or describe the preparation of particularly useful chemicals. This compilation begins with procedures exemplifying three important methods for preparing enantiomerically pure substances by asymmetric catalysis. The preparation of (R)-(-)-METHYL 3-HYDROXYBUTANOATE details the convenient preparation of a BINAP-ruthenium catalyst that is broadly useful for the asymmetric reduction of p-ketoesters. Catalysis of the carbonyl ene reaction by a chiral Lewis acid, in this case a binapthol-derived titanium catalyst, is illustrated in the preparation of METHYL (2R)-2-HYDROXY-4-PHENYL-4-PENTENOATE. The enantiomerically pure diamines, (1 R,2R)-(+)- AND (1S,2S)-(-)-1,2-DIPHENYL-1,2-ETHYLENEDIAMINE, are useful for a variety of asymmetric transformations hydrogenations, Michael additions, osmylations, epoxidations, allylations, aldol condensations and Diels-Alder reactions. Promotion of the Diels-Alder reaction with a diaminoalane derived from the (S,S)-diamine is demonstrated in the synthesis of (1S,endo)-3-(BICYCLO[2.2.1]HEPT-5-EN-2-YLCARBONYL)-2-OXAZOLIDINONE. 

In heterocyde synthesis these conditions have been particularly used in 1,3-dipolar cydoadditions and Diels-Alder reactions (Chapt. 9). These conditions are, in fact, ideal for green chemistry . 

Bayardon and Sinou have reported the synthesis of chiral bisoxazolines, which also proved to be active ligands in the asymmetric allylic alkylation of l,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate, as well as cyclopropanation, allylic oxidations and Diels-Alder reactions. [62] The ligands do not have a fluorine content greater than 60 wt% and so are not entirely preferentially soluble in fluorous solvents, which may lead to a significant ligand loss in the reaction system and in fact, all recycling attempts were unsuccessful. However, the catalytic results achieved were comparable with those obtained with their non-fluorous analogues.

In the last 5 years, catalytic antibodies have been generated for several reaction types, including the various types of hydrolysis, transesterification, amide bond formation, /3-elimination, cycloreversion, transacylation, redox reactions, E-Z isomerization, epoxidation, and Diels-Alder reactions. For more information on these and other recent developments, such as semi-synthetic antibodies, site-directed mutagenesis, and the bait-and-switch strategy, the reader should consult the appropriate authorities (Schultz, 1988, 1989a,b Benkovic et al., 1990 Janda et al., 1990, 1991 Janjic and Tramontano, 1990 Lerner et al., 1991).
