Abstract

Recent studies on the enzyme catalyzing Diels-Alder reaction, “Diels-Alderase”, clearly demonstrated involvement of this synthetically useful reaction in the biosynthesis of natural products. This article describes natural Diels-Alder type cycloadducts, synthetic efforts on chemical feasibility of biosynthetic Diels-Alder reaction and brief history of studies on Diels-Alderase. In addition, reaction mechanisms of artificial and natural Diels-Alderase are discussed.
