Evolution of the Diels-Alder Reaction Mechanism since the 1930s: Woodward, Houk with Woodward, and the Influence of Computational Chemistry on Understanding Cycloadditions

Kendall N. Houk et al.

Summary: This review article traces the evolution of Woodward's mechanistic thinking from proposing a charge-transfer mechanism to developing the Woodward-Katz two-stage concerted mechanism and orbital symmetry control. Research by Houk in Woodward's lab tested the theory's predictions. Modern calculations have confirmed Woodward's descriptions of cyclopentadiene dimerization mechanism and the discovery of ambimodal or bis-pericyclic transition states. Hoffmann's Coda reflects on the joy of following the cycloaddition story from Woodward's youth to trajectory simulations today.

Cycloadditions of Cyclopentadiene and Cycloheptatriene with Tropones: All Endo-[6+4] Cycloadditions Are Ambimodal

Cooper S. Jamieson et al.

Summary: Through quantum mechanical studies and molecular dynamics simulations, it was found that the cycloadditions of cyclopentadiene and cycloheptatriene with tropone involve ambimodal transition states, leading to a complex network of products. This general concept was supported by calculations of simple parent systems and a thorough meta-analysis of literature examples.
