Vd. Kiselev et al., Volume, enthalpy and entropy of activation of the Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate with 1-hexene, TETRAHEDRON, 55(41), 1999, pp. 12201-12210
Pressure and temperature effects on the reaction rate of dimethyl1,2,4,5-te
trazine-3,6-dicarboxylate with 1-hexene were investigated. The activation v
olume (-26.7 cm(3) mol(-1), 298.1 K) is in agreement with the conservation
of all four nitrogen atoms in transition state. Densitometry, H-1 NMP and c
alorimetric studies of the reaction indicate nitrogen molecule loss by the
intermediate just after its formation Partial molar volumes in acetone of d
iene (127.2), 1-hexene (127.6) and the resulting adduct (206.9 cm(3) mol(-1
)) were determined. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
