Just an opinion here...I think it would look a lot better if you wrote the second and third generic Aza Diels-Alder reactions with two separately drawn dienophiles and two separately drawn plus symbols. Thanks for your consideration. Â : Leeannedy 23:16, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
"Diels-Alder" implies a one step percyclic conserted reaction, but the mechanism shown for the "aza-Diels-Alder" on this page is stepwise â meaning it is not. What is depicted instead is something like a Robninson-Mannich annulation reaction. Both an "aza-Diels-Alder" and a "Robninson-Mannich annulation reaction" can have the same products but what differs for choosing the appropriate reaction label/name is the underlying mechanism (stepwise v.s. concerted). This may sound like an insignificant nit-pick but it actually has pretty significant claim for the publishability of reactions especially for bio-catalysts and enzymes. For instance I am reviewing a paper right now making claims of an aza-Diels-Alder when it has a stepwise mechanism because the authors know this will give undo significance to their biocatalyst. Trying to figure out where this misconception stems and has spread from I seem to have found myself here on this page... 149.155.222.31 ( talk) 14:50, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

I propose to merge Imine DielsâAlder reaction into this article. The focus of each article are pretty similar.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 14:29, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
