  Text of MIJ-NSR Volume 5, Article 4
In addition, the cyclopentadiene peak was decreased substantially and the pressure observed in the sampling manifold was lowered to that of the vapor pressure of MgCp2 (~40 mTorr [4]).
Further, the slight plateau in intensity near the baseline is the characteristic line-shape for the on-going decomposition of a reactive compound in the chromatographic column.
Therefore, the presence of additional cyclopentadiene (relative to figure 3 as seen by the signal-to-noise) is due to MgCp2 decomposition in the bubbler.

Cyclopentadiene spontaneously dimerizes at room temperature to form dicylopentadiene by a Diels-Alder reaction.
Cyclopentadiene can be synthesized from dicyclopentadiene by "cracking" it which just means heating it above the boiling point of cyclopentadiene.
Because the Diels-Alder reaction is a reversible equilibrium, the cyclopentadiene is removed by boiling and the equilibrium is driven to the right.

 Re: How do they make linseed-oil more reactive ?
Cyclopentadiene is a five carbon cyclic hydrocarbon containing two double bonds in conjugation.
Cyclopentadiene may be recovered by heating the dimer to >150 degrees C causing the retro-Diels Alder to occur then distilling off the monomeric cyclopentadiene (bp is around 30 degrees C I think) into a cooled receiver flask.
I can guess that if linseed oil was treated with cyclopentadiene (in the monomeric form only) then Diels-Alder reaction would occur between the double bonds in the unsaturated oils and the two double bonds in the cyclopentadiene.

 NTP: Executive Summary Dicyclopentadiene: I through IV
Dicyclopentadiene is formed when cyclopentadiene spontaneously polymerizes at ordinary temperatures, with the rate of polymerization increasing with increasing temperature.
Cyclopentadiene is produced during the carbonization of coal, and as a by-product of thermal cracking of hydrocarbons such as gas oil and naphtha in the presence of steam.
Following the distillations, high purity dicyclopentadiene is obtained by cracking the dicyclopentadiene in the crude stream, separating the low-boiling cyclopentadiene by distillation, and allowing the concentrated cyclopentadiene to dimerize under controlled conditions [Kirk-Othmer, 1979].

 Dixie Meiners 2003 Oscar Presentation
Since cyclopentadiene is locked in the cis- position, the diradical mechanism is predicted to be unimportant for the present reaction, and only six-membered products should be formed.
The goal of this project was to investigate the Diels-Alder reaction between a chlorinated difluoropropadiene and cyclopentadiene.
In the reaction between 1,1-difluoro-3-chloropropadiene and cyclopentadiene, cyclopentadiene is locked in the cis position, therefore the diradical mechanism is no longer in competition with the concerted mechanism.

 Cycloaddition of Cyclopentadiene and Dicyclopentadiene on Si(100)-2×1: Comparison of Monomer and Dimer Adsorption   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The adsorption of cyclopentadiene and its dimer form, dicyclopentadiene, on the Si(100)-2×1 surface has been investigated using polarized multiple internal reflection Fourier transform infrared (MIR-FTIR) spectroscopy together with ab initio quantum chemistry calculations.

Dicyclopentadiene is not found to react via a surface-catalyzed retro-Diels-Alder pathway whereby it splits into cyclopentadiene while chemisorbing, even though this pathway is theoretically predicted to be much more thermodynamically favored.

 REACTIONS IN SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
It is well known that many Diels-Alder reactions result in formation of variable mixtures of endo- and exo-isomers.
Some time ago, we showed that the endo/exo selectivity for the reaction between methyl acrylate and cyclopentadiene varied with density of supercritical carbon dioxide, from around 3:1 at low densities, rising to a maximum of 4:1 before falling back to 3:1 as density was increased further.
This change could be rationalised on the basis of a solvent potential tuning phenomenon, where the number of solvent molecules per molecule of substrate is optimised to favour one particular transition state.
