Graphical Abstract

Quantenchemische Rechnungen werden zur Untersuchung experimentell gemessener Reaktivitäten von cyclischen Dienen und Cycloalkenonen in Diels-Alder-Reaktionen verwendet. Die Wechselwirkungsenergien (rot) sind nahezu konstant; Unterschiede ergeben sich durch verschiedene Verzerrungsenergien von Dienophilen (blau) und Dienen (grün; siehe Bild, Ea=Aktivierungsenergie; Angaben in kcal mol−1).
