The aminium salt catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction has been subjected to mechanisticscrutiny. Eight discrete reaction systems in the diene/diene Diels-Alder format, including both dimerizations and cross additions, and also one cyclobutanation reaction, havebeen examined on the basis of as many as five distinct mechanistic criteria. The previously proposed cation radical chain mechanism is specifically confirmed and, among others, a Bronsted acid catalyzed mechanism ruled out in every instance except one. As previously proposed by another laboratory, the cyclodimerization of 2, 4-dimethyl-1, 3-pentadiene is found to proceed via a Bronsted acid catalyzed mechanism. These results support and further broaden similar conclusions based upon detailedkinetic studies on two cycloaddition systems, previously reported by this laboratory. Experimental procedures for performing these reactions and isolating and characterizing the cycloadducts are also reported.
