This reaction occurs between a conjugated diene and a molecule containing a carbon-carbon double or triple bond.
This reaction occurs between a conjugated diene and a molecule containing a carbon-carbon double or triple bond. A cycloaddition reaction, it proceeds through a pseudo-cyclic intermediate to generate a product containing a six- membered ring. In the course of the reaction, two new carbon-carbon single bonds are formed, using the electrons from two of the original pi bonds. FTP, what is this reaction, discovered in 1928 by the two German chemists for whom it is named?
