Frontier orbital theory and the theoretical model of the Lewis acid complexed dienophile have been used to predict the effect of Lewisacid catalysis on the regioselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction between unsymmetrically substituted dienes and dienophiles. This theoretical approach is applied to the three general types of unca-talyzed Diels-Alder reactions and general cases for predicting the effect of catalysis on the regioselectivity of the normal electron demand reaction are given. The effectof polysubstitution on the frontierorbital coefficients of butadiene is also determined. Dipole-dipole interactions were not useful inpredicting the changes in regioselecti-vity.The use of frontier orbital theoryto predict the reactivi-ty and the regioselectivity of concerted cycloaddition reac-tions has been extremely successful. 1-6 General rules for predicting the regioselectivity ofthe uncatalyzed concerted [2+ 2tt] and [4+ 2rr] cycloaddition reactions from the frontier orbital interactions have been proposed. lc’2d’4’ob Also, the role of Lewis acid catalysis in the Diels-Alder reaction has been determined. 20’5® The important changes in the frontier orbital properties of the dienophile acrolein upon complexation with a Lewis acid was a substantial lowering of the frontier orbital energies, an increase in the magnitude of the LUMO coefficient of the carbonyl carbon, and an increase in the difference in the magnitudes of the LUMO coefficients of the alkene moiety. From these changes, a catalyzed transition state completely dominated by the HOMO diene-LUMO dienophile interaction and having greatly increased secondary orbital interactions was predicted. Houk andStrozier20 also proposed that Lewis acid catalysis will increase theregioselectivity from the un-catalyzed reaction for dienes withterminal coefficients of different magnitudes, while dienes with terminal coefficients of nearly equal magnitude will have no change or a decrease in regioselectivity.
