Abstract

Abstract A kinetic study of Diels-Alder additions between norbornene derivatives acting as dienophiles and the dienes tropone, perchlorocyclopentadiene and 9, 10- dimethylanthracene is presented. The results suggest that tropone thereby acts as an electron acceptor, classifying these reactions then as Diels-Alder additions with 'inverse electron demand'.
