Using catalysts in Diels-Alder reactions offers several advantages:
Increased Reaction Rate: Catalysts can significantly accelerate the reaction by stabilizing the transition state. Improved Selectivity: Catalysts can enhance regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, leading to the desired product with higher purity. Milder Reaction Conditions: Catalysts often allow the reaction to proceed under milder conditions, reducing the need for extreme temperatures or pressures.
