  • Regioselectivity in hetero diels-alder reactions
    Publication . Grosso, Carla; Liber, Marta; Brigas, Amadeu; Pinho e Melo, Teresa M. V. D.; Lemos, Americo
    Regioselectivity in hetero Diels-Alder reactions can be observed in a simple reaction between a nonsymmetrical heterodiene and an unsymmetrical heterodienophile. A 9 h and easy to implement laboratory experiment is described, in which students can observe the regioselectivity of inverse "electron-demand" hetero Diels-Alder reactions of an azoalkene with furan or 2,3-dihydrofuran acting as dienophile. This experiment combines synthesis, structural analysis (IR spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy), and dry- and vacuum-flash isolation methods.
