General description

2,3-Dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (DMBD) is a conjugated diene. It undergoes Diels Alder cycloaddition reaction with 2-thio-3-chloroacrylamides under thermal, catalytic and microwave conditions. It undergoes thermal [4+2] cycloaddition reaction with 3-acetyl-, 3-carbamoyl and 3-ethoxycarbonylcoumarins under solvent free conditions. DMBD participates in polymerization reactions in the presence of iron dichloride complexes based catalysts.

Application

2,3-Dimethyl-1,3-butadiene was used to investigate the reactions of 1,3-dienes with the Si(001) surface using scanning tunneling microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
It may be used in the following processes:
  • Preparation of 1,3,6-triene derivatives of corresponding 1-aryl-substituted 1,3-dienes by 1,4-hydrobutadienylation in the presence of cobalt catalyst.
  • Synthesis of 6-aryl(hetaryl)-3,4-dimethyl-1-nitro-1-cyano-3-cyclohexenes by reacting with gem-cyanonitroethenes.
  • As a halogen trap during the study of the photolysis reaction of dibromo adduct of 2,5-diphenyltellurophene.

The Diels-Alder cycloadditions of cyclopentadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to a range of 2-thio-3-chloroacrylamides under thermal, catalytic and microwave conditions is described. The influence of reaction conditions on the outcome of the cycloadditions, in particular the stereoselectivity and reaction efficiency, is discussed.

Diels–Alder Reaction

The Diels–Alder reaction is the reaction between a conjugated diene and an alkene (dienophile) to form unsaturated six-membered rings. Since the reaction involves the formation of a cyclic product via a cyclic transition state, it is also referred to as a "cycloaddition".

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
