In the last post in this series on the Diels-Alder [See: Diels-Alder Reaction: Kinetic and Thermodynamic Control] we saw that if you apply enough heat, the Diels-Alder can operate in both the forward and reverse dir…

About Master Organic Chemistry
After doing a PhD in organic synthesis at McGill and a postdoc at MIT, I applied for faculty positions at universities and it didn’t work out, yada yada yada. So I decided to teach organic chemistry anyway! Master Organic Chemistry is the resource I wish I had when I was learning the subject.
