Abstract :
In the present work, the regioselectivity for a series of DielsAlder reactions (4 reactions) has beenstudied using hardness, electrophilicity and polarizability of products.Furthermore,thermodynamicand kinetic calculations have been done. In all results predicted pararegioisomer is more favorableregioisomerinthese investigated reactions.All calculations have been done at the DFT-B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory.
