Article Synopsis
- Many believe that Diels-Alder reactions are always highly selective, but recent experiments show otherwise.
- The study involved reactions with a deuterium-labeled butadiene and various alkenic dienophiles, revealing nearly equal product ratios (close to 1:1) for most cases.
- Findings indicate that selectivity is influenced by steric and electronic effects, challenging previous assumptions about the intrinsic nature of Diels-Alder reactions.
