22. Tetracyclone (a), methyl coumalate (b) and furan (c) were not considered for comparison with Homomyrcene 2 due to additional carbonyl, phenyl or oxygen substituents in conjugation with the diene. Endo-selective DA reactions from these dienes and (meth)acrylonitrile have been reported:

26. All four carbon atoms of an endocyclic conjugated diene are part of a cyclic structure, not to be confused with the endo/exo descriptors of the Diels-Alder transition states. The endo/exo description of the obtained Diels-Alder adducts is identical with the cis/trans description of the diastereomers a and b, respectively.

46. 3 has been reported to catalyze DA reactions of butadiene or isoprene with (meth)acrylonitriles, but no data about endo/exo selectivities were given:. Efendiev E.Kh., Rasulbekova T.I., and Akhmedov R.M. Azerbaidzhanskii Khimicheskii Zhurnal (1979) 43-46

Equations have been generated by using all the available molecular descriptors and genetic function approximation of Molecular Operating Environment (MOE), version 2007.09, Chemical Computing Group Inc.

Geometry optimizations and Gibbs free energy values in toluene have been computed by applying the COSMO-RS solvent modeling approach (From Quantum Chemistry to Fluid Phase Thermodynamics and Drug Design, Andreas Klamt, Elsevier Science Ltd., Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2005, ISBN: 0-444-51994-7) based on ab inito wavefunctions (HF:svp_ahlrichs/DFT: B97-2//tzvp_alrichs/MP2-SCS) by using Parallel Quantum Solutions (2013 Green Acres Road Suite A, Fayetteville, Arkansas, 72703, U.S.A.) software (version 3.3) at our Quantum Cube parallel computer (8 AMD 2.4 GHz CPUs). For transition state search, TS option was used with a subsequent frequency analysis.
