• Resumen

  • The Diels-Alder reaction and solvolysis of an anhydride accompanied by Fischer esterification. Both of these steps produce crystals in a dramatic manner that catches the students' attention. This sequence can stand on its own as part of an organic laboratory, or the product can be utilized as a monomer for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) studies.
