Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Cycloaddition reaction | Cycloaddition reactions are not common. Unusual thermal Diels-Alder reactivity of arenes can be found in the Wagner-Jauregg reaction. Other photochemical Cycloaddition reactions with alkenes occur through excimers. |
