The endo and exo stereoselectivities of Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopropenone, iminocyclopropene, and substituted triafulvenes with butadiene were rationalized using density functional theory calculations. When cyclopropenone is the dienophile, there is a 1.8 kcal/mol preference for the exo cycloaddition with butadiene, while the reaction of 3-difluoromethylene triafulvene with butadiene favors the endo cycloaddition by 2.8 kcal/mol. The influence of charge transfer and secondary orbital interactions on the stereoselectivity of Diels-Alder reactions involving triafulvenes and heteroanalogs is discussed. The predicted stereoselectivity correlates with both the charge and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) coefficient at the C 3 carbon of the triafulvene motif.
