β¦ Synopsis
Diels-Alder cycloadducts of unsymmetrical electron-rich dienes and methoxybenzoquinones or naphthoquinones produce adducts in which the more nucleophilic diene terminus becomes bonded to the non-methoxylated carbon.
These results support the "secondary orbital", but not the "schizophrenic", model for donor substituent effects on regioselectivity.
We recently noted that the cycloadditions of electron-rich cycloaddends to electron-deficient alkenes which are unsymmetrically substituted by slkyl substituents give anomalous regioselectivities;2 the preferred products are not those predicted by frontier molecular orbital theory.
3 That is, the LUMO coefficient of the alkyl-substituted carbon is larger than that of the unsubstituted carbon.
