Diels_Alder reactions in water

Abstract: This review illustrates how water, as an environmentally friendly solvent, can have significant additional benefits when it is used as a solvent for the Diels-Alder reaction. The mechanism by which the unique properties of water enhance the rate and selectivity are discussed. Also, possibilities for the achievement of further increases in rate and enantioselectivity of aqueous Diels-Alder reactions through Lewis-acid and micellar catalysis are reviewed.

“…43 Detailed examination of aqueous solvent effects on the otherwise solvent-insensitive DA reactions showed that enforced hydrophobic interactions between diene and dienophile and hydrogen bonding of water to the polarised carbonyl moieties in the activated complex play a major role in the large aqueous rate acceleration. 45 The enhanced preference for the endo reaction product (mentioned above) is understood in terms of the smaller solvent accessible surface area for the activated complex leading to this stereoisomer. Computational studies support the interpretation of the beneficial effect of water on these electrocyclic reactions.…”

“…Diels-Alder reactions have been studied as powerful chemical reactions to be used in high-yield and high-stereoselective methods [2][3]. The 1,3-dipolarcycloaddition reaction, one of the well-known Dields-Alder reactions, requires each reactant to have a high-diffusion coefficient within one phase in multiple phase systems, although most of the substrates are hydrophobic and are not readily dissolved in the water phase.…”

“…Water as a reaction medium has gained importance in the development of sustainable chemistry. 52 As a common catalyst for phase transfer, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB is able to expedite the reaction between anion or nucleophile and neutral substrate via transferring one phase to another, making them collided with each other frequently. 53 In continuation of our efforts to develop green synthetic routes for the formation of C-C and carbon-heteroatom bond, 54 we herein report a green, simple and practical method for the synthesis of 2-sustituted benzothiazoles from the condensation of 2-aminothiophenol with aldehydes catalyzed by CTAB in water.…”
