Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Nobody does it better: A comparative study indicates that water, rather than room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), is still the solvent of choice for accelerating Diels-Alder reactions. Both the hydrogen-bonding ability and the viscosity of the solvent are thought to play a role. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
