A quantum chemical AM1 study of a Diels–Alder and retro-Diels–Alder tandem reaction
Abstract
An AM1 study on a two convergent Diels–Alder reactions has shown that the formal transfer of an alkoxy substituent from a dienophile to a diene through a Diels–Alder/retro-Diels–Alder tandem reaction is feasible.
