description

On the basis of X-ray geometries, a theoretical conformational study of some 3-vinyl-1H-indoles was performed with quantum chemistry and molecular mechanics programs. Charge, frontier orbitals, and the molecular electrostatic potential derived from quantum chemistry calculations of 3-vinyl-1H-indoles are reliable reactivity parameters to predict the outcome of theDiels-Alder reaction.
