Conjugation, Diels-Alder, and MO theory
conjugation, conjugated dienes, addition reactions of conjugated dienes, diels-alder reaction, MO theory, color
addition reaction of conjugated dienes I: mechanism
addition reaction of conjugated dienes II: example
addition reaction of conjugated dienes III: controlAddition reactions of conjugated dienes
In this tutorial, Jay shows the possible products for an addition to a conjugated diene and how the end product can be controlled by changing the reaction conditions.
diels-alder I: mechanism
diels-alder II: endo vs exo
diels-alder III: stereochemistry of dienophile
diels-alder IV: stereochemistry of diene
diels-alder V: regiochemistry
diels-alder VI: more regiochemistry
diels-alder VII: intramolecularDiels-alder reaction
In this tutorial, Jay shows the mechanism, stereochemistry, and regiochemistry for the classic Diels-Alder reaction.
intro to molecular orbital (MO) theory
MO theory for butadiene
MO theory for Diels-AlderMolecular orbital theory
In this tutorial, Jay introduces molecular orbital (MO) theory and shows how MO theory explains the experimental observations of the Diels-Alder reaction.
intro to color theory
