Silica-promoted diels- Alder reactions in carbon dioxide from gaseous to supercritical conditions.

Amorphous fumed silica (SiO2) was shown to increase yields and selectivities of several Diels-Alder reactions in gaseous and supercritical CO2. Pressure effects on the Diels-Alder reaction were explored using methyl vinyl ketone and penta-1,3-diene at 80 degreesC. The selectivity of the reaction was...
