Abstract
[GRAPHICS]
The rational design of a system which is capable of accelerating and facilitating a thermodynamically disfavored Diets-Alder cycloaddition between a furan and a maleimide is presented. The origins of the acceleration and facilitation of the cycloaddition reaction are traced by kinetic studies-allied to results from H-1 NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography-to the formation of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the cycloadduct.
