Oxo-Diels–Alder reaction

Chemical reaction


Chemical reaction

Kurt Alder

An oxo-Diels–Alder reaction (also called an oxa-Diels–Alder reaction) is an organic reaction and a variation of the Diels–Alder reaction in which a suitable diene reacts with an aldehyde to form a dihydropyran ring. This reaction is of some importance to synthetic organic chemistry.

The oxo-DA reaction was first reported in 1949 using a 2-methylpenta-1,3-diene and formaldehyde as reactants.
