Diels–Alder reactions in hydrophobic cavities: a quantitative correlation with solvophobicity and rate enhancements by macrocycles

Abstract
Based on the reaction of cyclopentadiene with diethyl fumarate a linear correlation of log k vs. solvophobicity parameters is reported as well as saturation kinetics showing up to 70-fold rate increase by complexation in β-cyclodextrin.
