An AM1 study of two convergent Diels–Alder reactions shows that the formal transfer of a substituent from a dienophile to a diene through a Diels–Alder–retro-Diels–Alder tandem reaction is thermodynamically and kinetically feasible irrespective of the electron-donating or -withdrawing character of the substituent.
