Abstract:Scheme 3.2). Reversible reactions are, for this reason, not usually suitable for the formation of strained bonds.Strained cyclohexenes, such as norbornene derivatives, can undergo retro-Diels-Alder reactions even at relatively low temperatures, and this reaction can be used to prepare 1,3-dienes and alkenes (e.g. synthesis of cyclopentadiene by thermolysis of 36 Scheme 3.1. Thermal decomposition of strained compounds [1-8].
Strained Bondsdicyclopentadiene at approximately 160 C). In the example shown in Scheme… Show more
