Pericyclic Reactions Part 1: Revisiting the Diels-Alder Reaction

An important class of reactions is the pericyclic reactions. We've been introduced to one subclass of these, cycloaddition reactions, when we looked at the Diels-Alder reaction. For the next few tutorials we will learn about some other important pericyclic reactions, but let's start by refreshing out memory with that first classic reaction.

Lots of info; great! Thank you prof Dave!!

[@togoth1]

Haven't done this since uni! Was explaining this to an alevel student of mine and was sad to find out I couldn't remember a lot of it... thanks for the refresher!

[@laucheukming5580]

Thanks a lot Professor Dave. you help me a lot

[@PunmasterSTP]

Thanks for letting us know the diel with these reactions!

[@amityboy14mo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVE!!!

[@chemiovision3374]

Great explanation ❤️

[@maggiereasor1651]

This was so helpful!!!

[@backstreetfan2887]

Thanks for the video

[@mohamadparadox2453]

This is perfect

[@AA-gl1dr]

Thanks prof

[@FreemanVashier]

Morn'n Dave, thanks.

[@yuchujian8837]

Thank you for the great explanations! At the bottom left of the slide at 4:13, wouldn’t the 0-node MO of dienophile be in a higher energy than the 0-node MO of the diene (assuming upwards direction increasing energy), since the 0-node MO of diene is stabilized by delocalization?

[@songohan393]

high quality content right here

[@amanadleshorts7429]

Nice explanation

[@therealmoon7246]

You are the best professor, I don’t know why I am here, I am in grade 9 and don’t understand a thing but thank you for the hundreds of people you are helping.

[@sharvarimahajan847]

Thank you thank you thank you....it helped me so much with my chem class 🙏🙏🙏

[@hayethayat4939]

Merci beaucoup même si j'ai pas compris l'anglais juste les images

[@CM-ng1ef]

man finally!

[@MudulerDerpz]

Hey Dave. I know u did a video on scientific method called "Why you should never say 'its just a theory'", but could you perhaps do a video on inductive method vs deductive method? I find it hard, at times, to differentiate between the two, aswell as explain why i chose one over the other when writing papers. Thanks for the content!

[@bloo2506]

Thank you so much for making these. They must be a waste of time from your end, but they really help stupid undergrads like me..

[@suryadeepkumbhakar6346]

Awesome

[@joelchristophr3741]

Great explanation thankyou so much master... but I have one doubt... in 7:01 time of this video, you told preference will be to end up adjacent in the product why is it so could you please explain 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@RahulKumar-qw1jy]

Can you plzz name each reagent , substrate & products in all videos....

[@daphenomenalz4100]

My favorite reaction since i learned about this, and i dont know the reason why 😃😆 And yes, thank you 🙏 for explaining it in deep Sir, pls tell any more example which behave like the Ome and Co2me one.

[@kawigoodtimesroll]

make me feel stupid which is a humbling expirience.

Please leave the bottom 15% of your slides blank, as this section is being obscured by the subtitles.

[@GamersFromIbiza]

You can move and customize the subs

You look like jesus
