Acceleration of Diels-Alder Reaction in Aqueous Fluorinated Micelles and Droplets: An Application for Electrolytic Cycloadditions

摘要

During the last two decades,organic reactions in aqueous media have been attracting increasing attention.Furthermore,It has been established that some Diels-Alder reaction dramatically accelerated in aqueous media.These have been alternatively ascribed to hydrophobic association of the reacting partners,micellar catalysis,solvophobicity,high internal solvent pressure,cohesive energy density,solvent polarity and hydrogen bonding.Previously,we found a moderate acceleration property of some Diels-Alder reactions in aqueous SDS dispersion even in the absence of Lewis acids.
