Journal ArticleDOI
A frontier molecular orbital treatment of fulvene cycloadditions : Molecular orbital calculations and photoelectron spectra of substituted fulvenes
TL;DR: In this article, the periselectivity of substituted fulven cycloadditions with dienes, 1,3-dipoles, and ketenes is compared with experimental data, where available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Determination of the Absolute Enantioselectivity of an Antibody-Catalyzed Diels−Alder Reaction and Theoretical Explorations of the Origins of Stereoselectivity
TL;DR: The exo and endo Diels-Alder adducts of p-methoxycarbonylbenzyl trans-1,3-butadiene-1-carbamate and N,N-dimethylacrylamide have been synthesized, and the absolute configurations of resolved enantiomers have been determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible Photochemically Gated Transformation of a Hemicarcerand to a Carcerand
TL;DR: Guests in a gated community: introduction of two anthracene groups into a linker in a hemic incarcerand creates a new type of photochemically controlled gated hemicarcerand that is controlled by irradiation with light of different wavelengths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative modeling of proximity effects on organic reactivity
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular dynamics of the Diels-Alder reactions of tetrazines with alkenes and N2 extrusions from adducts.
TL;DR: Dynamical effects opposing the QM preferences have been discovered involving the coupling of vibrations associated with the formation of the new C-C bonds in the cycloaddition step, and those of the breaking C-N bonds during subsequent N2 loss, which leads to pronounced nonstatistical effects on the lifetimes of Diels-Alder intermediates.
