investigated, and the rates of the reaction and the endo : exo adduct distributions were determined. The introduction of a chlorine atom at the C5 position of cyclopentadiene resulted in an enhanced endo preference for substituents in the adducts, despite the depressed reactivity of the diene. This is contrary to what is to be expected from the so-called “selectivity-reactivity relationship in the Diels-Alder

A variety of dienophiles was used to assess the facial selectivity of Diels-Alder reactions in a series of 1,3-cyclopentadiene derivatives (1-3, 6-10) in which chlorine, bromine, and iodine were plane-nonsymmetric atoms pitted against hydrogen or methyl at C-5. The results were rationalized in terms of the major factor controlling the facial selectivity being related to steric hindrance between the diene and the dienophile. Selectivity did not correlate with reactivity. Facial selectivity in the reactions with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione as the dienophile was also influenced by a second significant factor, postulated to be filled-orbital repulsion with the halogen substituent.
