Journal ArticleDOI
Diels-Alder reactions in room-temperature ionic liquids
TL;DR: The Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction between methyl acrylate and cyclopentadiene has been investigated in a number of air and moisture stable ionic liquids as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of hydrogen bonding in controlling the selectivity of Diels–Alder reactions in room-temperature ionic liquids
TL;DR: The reaction of cyclopentadiene with methyl acrylate has been investigated in a range of ionic liquids and the origin of the endo-selectivity for the reactions and associated rate enhancements has been attributed to a hydrogen bond formed between the cation of the ionic liquid and the methyl acid as mentioned in this paper.
Book ChapterDOI
Ionic Liquids as Solvents for Organic Synthesis
TL;DR: Ionic liquids provide a solvent environment quite unlike any other available at, or near room temperature as mentioned in this paper, and the challenge is to discover whether that environment can add significant advantage for synthesis.

Book ChapterDOI
Synthesis and Catalysis in Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of ionic liquids as solvents for synthesis and catalysis is discussed, focusing on how the ionic liquid can interact (or not) to make changes in the observed reactivities.
