Soluble and recyclable Cu(ii)–pyridineoxazoline containing polymeric catalyst shows faster reaction rate and higher enantio-selectivity than its low molecular mass counterpart in D–A reaction of 2-alkenoyl pyridine N-oxide and cyclopentadiene.

A general method is described for effecting the intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction of the furan diene in which the side arm connecting the diene to the dienophile contains four carbon atoms. The use of 1.1 equivalents of methylaluminum dichloride at −78 °C for 2–8 h shifts the Diels–Alder equilibrium towards the products and provides the oxatricyclo adducts in good to excellent yield. Catalytic quantities of methylaluminum dichloride (10 mol%) provided a higher quantity of adduct than excess Lewis acid when the enone was substituted with alkyl groups. The scope was extended to include a precursor containing a five carbon atom side arm, and two examples containing acetylenic dienophiles that were activated by a carbonyl moiety on the side arm. Precursors having a four carbon atom side arm provided only oxatricyclo adducts having the side arm syn to the oxygen bridge. The assignment of the stereochemistry of the oxatricyclo adducts is discussed in detail.

The synthesis of the four acyclic trienes 11a, b and 20a, b is reported. The tandem macrocyclization and stereoselective transannular Diels–Alder reaction of acyclic trienes 11b (trans-trans-cis) and 20b (trans-trans-trans) were observed in the presence of Cs2CO3 at 85 °C to give tricycles 30 (TST) and 32 (CAT) respectively. However, treatment of acyclic trienes 11a (cis-trans-cis) and 20a (cis-trans-trans) under the same conditions yielded the 14-membered macrocycles 21 and 23, which were stereoselectively transformed at 250 °C into tricycles 22 (CST) and 24 (CAT) respectively in excellent yield. Keywords: stereocontrolled synthesis, macrocycle, tricyclic compound, transannular Diels–Alder reaction.

We analyze the mechanism of the topochemically controlled difunctionalization of C60 and anthracene, where an anthracene molecule is transferred from one C60 monoadduct to another one under exclusive formation of equal amounts of C60 and the difficult to make antipodal C60 bisadduct. Our herein disclosed dispersion corrected DFT studies show the anthracene transfer to take place in a synchronous retro Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder reaction: an anthracene molecule dissociates from one fullerene under formation of an intermediate, while already undergoing stabilizing interactions with both neighboring fullerenes, facilitating the reaction kinetically. In the intermediate, a planar anthracene molecule is sandwiched between two neighboring fullerenes and forms equally strong "double-decker" type pi-pi stacking interactions with both of these fullerenes. Analysis with the distorsion interaction model shows that the anthracene unit of the intermediate is almost planar with minimal distorsions. This analysis sheds light on the existence of noncovalent interactions engaging both faces of a planar polyunsaturated ring and two convex fullerene surfaces in an unprecedented 'inverted sandwich' structure. Hence, it sheds light on new strategies to design functional fullerene based materials.<br>
