By Using cyclopentadiene and carbon=carbon bond compounds as raw materials,based on Diels-Alder reaction,norbornene derivatives were prepared,such as 5-phenyl-2-nobornene,5-cyano-2-nobornene,5-carboxyl-2-nobornene and 5-nobornene-2-hydroxybutyrate.

The hetero-Diels-Alder reactions between methyl pyridinedithiocarboxylates and butadienes have been investigated theoretically using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level, in which the influences of catalysts, solvents and substituent groups on the mechanisms and activation barriers of these reactions have been involved.

Four hetero-Diels-Alder reactions between phosphonodithioformate and 1-acetoxybutadiene have been studied theoretically with density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level.
