The Cation-Radical Catalyzed Diels-Alder Reaction

Bimolecular formation of radicals by hydrogen transfer, 11: Transfer hydrogenation of conjugated cyclic dienes and trienes

1,3-Cyclohexadiene, 1,3-cycloheptadiene and cycloheptatriene are smoothly hydrogenated to cyclohexene and cycloheptene, respectively, when heated to 260-340°C with an excess of 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) in diphenyl ether or benzonitrile. On the basis of a mechanistic study a nonchain three-step mechanism is proposed which is initiated by a transfer of a hydrogen atom from DHA to the polyenes (retrodisproportionation).

Electron Transfer Reactions in Organic Chemistry. XXI. New Catalysts for the Diels-Alder Dimerization of 1,3-Cyclohexadiene: Broensted, Lewis and Redox Catalysts

The dimerization of a model compound, 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD), to give the Diels-Alder dimer has been studied with the aim of finding other catalysts than the commonly used tris(4-bromophenyl)aminium ion (TBPA-cation radical).Other radical cations with redox potentials (ArH(cation radical)/ArH) ca. 1.0 V vs.SCE worked equally well.Among inorganic species, iron(III) chloride was a good catalyst and iron(III)(phenanthroline) a slightly less efficient one.In contrast, the strong oxidants, hexachloroosmate(V), tungsten hexachloride and hexanitroacetate(IV) did not sustain DA dimerization but instead produced benzene in low yield.With trifluoroacetic acid as a catalyst, a maximum yield of 15percent of the DA dimer was obtained.There was evidence for formation of a coupling product between tris(4-methoxyphenyl)aminium ion and CHD.In the TBPA(cation radical)-catalyzed reaction, added 'inert' anions, like perchlorate and trifluoromethanesulfonate, almost eliminated DA dimerization.These solutions displayed spectacular color changes; the original blue color of TBPA(cation radical) decayed very fast (seconds) and was later replaced by a new blue color (minutes) which then slowly faded away (hours).A persistent radical species (triplet, showing hyperfine coupling to one nitrogen) was detected in the solutions after the TBPA(cation radical)-catalyzed reactions.
