Endo and Exo Diels–Alder Adducts: Temperature-Tunable Building Blocks for Selective Chemical Functionalization

Abstract: The development and application of a novel endo furan-protected maleimide building block is reported. The endo isomer undergoes deprotection at temperatures ~50 °C below the exo derivative. This enables a simple and powerful approach to quantitatively and selectively introduce functional maleimide groups via temperature modulation.

“…Polymers bearing maleimide groups are attractive scaffolds for chemical modifications as maleimide group undergoes a set of interesting reactions such as furan‐maleimide Diels–Alder reaction, anthracene‐maleimide Diels–Alder reaction, thiol‐maleimide Michael addition reaction, metal‐free azide‐maleimide 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition click reaction, and crosslinking under photochemical and thermal conditions . Thus, there is a strong interest in the chemistry of polymers possessing maleimide functional group(s) either at the chain end(s) or as pendant groups …”

“…The excellent Michael‐acceptor properties of maleimides required the protection of their C=C bond in form of the Diels–Alder adduct 13 in order to prevent side reactions with Ph 3 P, which is needed as a reagent in the Mitsunobu transformation. The endo ‐isomer of 13 was chosen over the exo ‐isomer, because it provides sufficient retro‐Diels–Alder reactivity already at 60 °C (see Supporting Information, Section 2.2.4) instead of 150 °C, which is necessary for the cleavage of the exo ‐adduct of 13 . The deprotection at 60 °C is compatible with the thermal stability of the radical center, which is crucial for the final deprotection to 9 .…”

“…Maleimides also undergo [4 + 2] cycloadditions with furan derivatives to afford oxanorbornenes. This provides a simple strategy to protect maleimides as, conversely to the norbornene products, it is a thermally reversible reaction as the retro‐Diels Alder reaction of oxanorbornenes occurs at reasonable temperature . The Diels‐Alder reaction between 1 and furan was performed under similar experimental conditions (Scheme ).…”
