Diels-Alder Cycloadditions: A MORE Experiment in the Organic Laboratory Including a Diene Identification Exercise Involving NMR Spectroscopy and Molecular Modeling

Shaw, Roosevelt; Severin, Ashika; Balfour, Miguel; Nettles, Columbus

Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n4 p625 Apr 2005

Two Diels-Alder reactions are described that are suitable for a MORE (microwave-induced organic reaction enhanced) experiment in the organic chemistry laboratory course. A second experiment in which the splitting patterns of the vinyl protons in the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of two MORE adducts are used in conjunction with molecular modeling to identify the MORE diene precursors is also described.
