ineedhelp Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 What is the mechanism of the Diels-alder reaction of furan and maleic anhydride? Also, tetrahydrofuran was also added, if that helps? THANKS!
ecoli Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diels-Alder_reaction figure it out... which reagent in the diene, and which one is the dienophile? (you can use wikipedia or some other site to look up the structure of furan and maleic anhydride if you're stuck). by the way, is this homework?
ultma Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 off course it is. I think I remeber doing this reaction during my studies
