Diels–Alder cycloadditions are efficient routes for the synthesis of cyclic organic compounds. There has been a long-standing discussion whether these reactions proceed via stepwise or concerted mechanisms. Here, we adopt an experimental approach to explore the mechanism of the model polar cycloaddition of 2,3-dibromo-1,3-butadiene with propene ions by probing its conformational specificities in the entrance channel under single-collision conditions in the gas phase. Combining a…

Analysis of the minimum dynamic path indicates that rotational energy is crucial to drive the system toward the transition state in addition to collision energy, and the presence of bromine substituents in the diene accentuates the importance of rotational excitation to promote the reaction.

The results show that a conventional Diels-Alder transition state conformation yields intermediates in all four investigated cases, but that these are too short-lived to be detected experimentally for the less activated reactants, and that introduction of a hydrogen bond donating catalyst favors a stepwise pathway even for less activated dienophiles.

Water molecules exist as two distinct nuclear-spin isomers denoted ortho and para, and these two isomers are separate in the gas phase to show that they exhibit different reactivities in a prototypical proton-transfer reaction.
