Cation binding acceleration of Diels–Alder reaction of quinocrown ethers with cyclopentadiene

New Journal of Chemistry Pub Date: DOI: 10.1039/A805326J

Abstract

Diels–Alder reactions of 15–21 membered quinocrown ethers 1ac with cyclopentadiene have been accelerated by the addition of alkali, alkaline-earth, and scandium perchlorates, reflecting the selective cation-binding abilities of crown ethers.
