The recent discovery of a Diels±Alderase enzyme has provided insights into the mechanism of biosynthetic cycloaddition. As a follow-up to our book Dienes in the Diels±Alder Reaction -1990) and in light of our personal experience as well as the reviews and books that have been published on this topic to date,we decided that a book collecting and describing the experimental methods that have been developed to perform the Diels±Alder reaction would be a useful tool for researchers working in organic synthesis. The first chapter presents the general aspects of the reaction; Chapters 2±6 illustrate the various methods and their applications in organic synthesis. At the end of each chapter a list of graphically abstracted Diels±Alder reactions is presented to show selected synthetic applications of the specific methodology. The discussion of the various topics is not exhaustive because our aim has been to emphasize the synthetic potential of each method. Chapter 7 reports a list of books,reviews,monographs and symposia proceedings which have appeared since 1990 and an index of keywords to help the reader find a particular paper of interest. The book is directed toward undergraduate and graduate level students,as well as to academic and industrial researchers working in organic synthesis. We are grateful to Drs Assunta Marrocchi,Oriana Piermatti and Luigi Vaccaro for their assistance with the drawings.
