Background: Higher temperature regions (hot spots) have been observed in organic reactions and are attributed to microwave selective heating. The accumulated heat in reaction systems accelerates certain reactions. Methods: The theoretical calculation was applied to select a suitable Diels-Alder reaction as a molecular probe to determine the microwave thermal effect on Diels-Alder reaction, one class of bimolecular reactions. The kinetic investigations were utilized to determine the reaction activation energies and further to calculate the actual reaction temperatures under different microwave conditions from the Arrhenius equation. Results: On the basis of the theoretical calculational results, Diels-Alder reaction of furan and maleimide was selected as a molecular probe to determine the microwave thermal effect in Diels- Alder reaction. Their activation energies under thermal conditions were determined from kinetic data by using the Arrhenius equation. The actual reaction temperatures under different microwave conditions were further deduced from their activation energies and the Arrhenius equation. Conclusion: Higher temperature regions (hot spots) were observed in Diels-Alder reaction, and they are more obvious in less polar solvents than those in more polar solvents in the microwave irradiated reactions.

The kinetics of the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with bis(2-ethylhexyl) maleate has been studied at temperatures between 25 and 100 °C and at atmospheric pressure. The influence of temperature on the kinetic constants was determined by fitting the results to the Arrhenius equation. As a result, fitting line similar with the linear curve of the Arrhenius equation at 25, 30 and 40 °C. However, the fitting curve, at 60, 80 and 100 °C, tended towards the outside of the curve in the form of Arrhenius equation. The ratio of endo/exo was a slight change from increase of the reaction temperature.

​The retro-Diels–Alder (rDA) reaction of partially saturated 2-pyrones were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations in polar and non-polar solvents, and fundamental descriptors were proposed to understand the electronic and solvent effect.

Abstract The reactions of 2-rm-butyl-3-methoxy-4-methyl-2,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indole (3) with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates are decisively influenced by the solvent. In the presence of alcohols as protic and polar solvents Michael addition is prefered, while in aprotic and less polar solvents like ether the Diels-Alder reaction is favoured. Based on stereospecific hydrolysis and isotopic labeling dipolar intermediates are discussed. The results are of current interest for mechanistic and theoretical reasons

Abstract Mixtures of butadiene and dimethylbutadiene with varying quantities of styrene and acrylonitrile were copolymerized under various catalytic conditions at 100° C. The formation of cyclic dimers from dienes and vinyl compounds is, in some cases, much more pronounced than the dimerization of the dienes alone. Since the latter is also a kind of Diels-Alder reaction, a series with increasing dienophilic properties can be established from a comparison of the yields of cyclic dimers. From solubility and swelling experiments it is evident that the polymers prepared from butadiene and the vinyl compounds and those from dimethylbutadiene and acrylonitrile are true copolymers. The mechanical properties of the copolymers from butadiene and increasing amounts of a vinyl compound change gradually from those of a rubber to those of the polyvinyl compound. The copolymers from a mixture containing 30 per cent styrene or acrylonitrile are very similar to Buna-S and Perbunan, respectively. Copolymers of the same composition from dimethylbutadiene and acrylonitrile, on the other hand, form a new class of thermoplastics with a much higher temperature of elasticity.

We analyze the mechanism of the topochemically controlled difunctionalization of C60 and anthracene, where an anthracene molecule is transferred from one C60 monoadduct to another one under exclusive formation of equal amounts of C60 and the difficult to make antipodal C60 bisadduct. Our herein disclosed dispersion corrected DFT studies show the anthracene transfer to take place in a synchronous retro Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder reaction: an anthracene molecule dissociates from one fullerene under formation of an intermediate, while already undergoing stabilizing interactions with both neighboring fullerenes, facilitating the reaction kinetically. In the intermediate, a planar anthracene molecule is sandwiched between two neighboring fullerenes and forms equally strong "double-decker" type pi-pi stacking interactions with both of these fullerenes. Analysis with the distorsion interaction model shows that the anthracene unit of the intermediate is almost planar with minimal distorsions. This analysis sheds light on the existence of noncovalent interactions engaging both faces of a planar polyunsaturated ring and two convex fullerene surfaces in an unprecedented 'inverted sandwich' structure. Hence, it sheds light on new strategies to design functional fullerene based materials.<br>
