 Diels-Alder reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Diels-Alder reaction is an organic chemical reaction (specifically, a cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile to form a substituted cyclohexene system.
Otto Paul Hermann Diels and Kurt Alder were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1950 for their work on this reaction.
The Diels-Alder reaction is generally considered the "Mona Lisa" of reactions in organic chemistry since it requires very little energy to create the very useful six-membered ring.

 Diels-Alder Reaction
The mechanism of the Diels-Alder reaction is usually shown using a cyclic flow of electrons between the diene and the dienophile.
The Diels-Alder reaction forms two new carbon-carbon single bonds which in the product connect carbon 1 and carbon 4 of the diene to the two carbons in the double bond (or triple bond) of the dienophile (shown in red in the following structures).
Remember that in the starting materials there were double bonds between carbons 1 and 2 and between carbons 3 and 4 of the conjugated diene, and a(nother) π-bond between the two carbons of the dienophile.

 Lewis Acid Catalysis of a Diels-Alder Reaction in Water
Relative to the uncatalyzed reaction in acetonitrile, catalysis by 0.010 M Cu(NO3)2 in water accelerates the reaction by a factor of 79 300.
The kinetics of the catalyzed reaction were analyzed in terms of equilibrium constants for complexation of the Lewis acid with 1a-e and rate constants for the reaction of the resulting complexes with 2.
The modest solvent and substituent effects observed for the catalyzed reaction indicate that the change in charge separation during the activation process is not larger than the corresponding change for the uncatalyzed reaction.

 Diels-Alder Mechanism
Since this reaction forms two new carbon-carbon bonds in a single step, it is a very useful and powerful reaction (one which earned Otto Diels and Kurt Alder a Nobel prize in chemistry for discovering it).
One quirk of the Diels-Alder reaction is that the diene is required to be in the s-cis conformation in order for the Diels-Alder reaction to work.
Typically, the Diels-Alder reaction works best when either the diene is substituted with electron donating groups (like -OR, -NR etc) or when the dienophile is substituted with electron-withdrawing groups (like -NO, -CN, -COR, etc).

 Diels-Alder reaction, note
In the initial stages of a reaction this approximation may be justified: the pi homo and lumo extend further in space than the sigma orbitals and will overlap first.
Consequently, all asymmetric orbitals in the reactants contribute to the new asymmetric orbitals of the reaction complex, and it is neither possible nor useful to relate these new orbitals to one or two starting MO's.
For instance, orbital no. 6 is shown on the right: an anti-symmetric combination in which we could detect at least four C-H sigma orbitals (the remaining two to a lesser extent).

 Diels-Alder
When the reaction is being done, all the sulfolene does not have to break up before the Diels-Alder reaction can begin.
Since there are six electrons moving in a circle, the transition state of the reaction is aromatic, like a benzene ring, and is therefore stabilized, meaning it is easier to get to.
Likewise the electron-withdrawing carbonyl groups also make it easier for the reaction to happen, by lowering the energy of the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) to approach (but still be higher than) the energy of the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the butadiene.
