(14) It has been reported that the Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-
cyclohexadiene with CO2 is energetically uphill according to
DFT calculations. Yao, S.; Roberson, M.; Reichel, F.; Hazell,
R. G.; Jørgensen, K. A. J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 6677.
(15) Gaussian 09 program was used to optimize the structures with
the two different theories (B3LYP-D/6-311G+(d,p) and
M06/6-311G+(d,p)). Both calculations afforded similar re-
sults. See SI for the optimized structures, energetics, and ref-
erences.
(16) When (E)-prop-1-enyl phenyl ketone was subjected to the
standard carboxylation reaction conditions, it underwent only
E-Z isomerization but no carboxylation reaction.
