Abstract

Abstract: The rate constants for the additions of singlet oxygen to 39 furans and cyclopentadienes have been determined. The effect of substituents on the observed rate constants was interpreted to suggest that the geometry of singlet oxygen addition is influenced by electron density distributions. The formation of endoperoxides was also compared to the Diels-Alder reaction. The different character of these reactions is ...
