Abstract

Diels-Alder reactions of the heteroaromatic diene furan proceed with enhanced isolated yields and reversal of endo/exo selectivity (2:1 endo vs exo) in the ionic liquids [bmim]BF₄ and [bmim]PF₆ compared to conventional methods. The potential utility of ionic liquids as solvents in Diels-Alder reactions of thiophene and pyrrole derivatives has also been demonstrated.

Key words

Diels-Alder reactions - heterocycles - solvent effects - furans - pyrroles
