Abstract

A variety of Diels-Alder reactions have been performed in supercritical water as a reaction medium. The rapid reaction of Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene and various electron poor dienophiles such as diethyl fumarate and acrylonitrile is observed in supercritical water, and leads to high yields of clean products without added catalysts.
