Computational studies for these compounds were also performed; molecular geometry, frontier molecular orbitals, and quantum chemical parameters were calculated using density functional theory (DFT). After exploration for catalytic activity, it was found that these surfactants can efficaciously accelerate the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions in reversed phase micellar media.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHydrophile-lipophile balanceDiels-alder reactionsSpacer lengthImidazolium surfactantsCorrosion inhibitionQuaternaryTensionSteelSynthesisCationic gemini surfactantsMicellar catalysisCycloadditionScience & technologyPhysical sciencesTechnologyChemistry, appliedChemistry, physicalEngineering, chemicalChemistryEngineeringFlexible semicrown ether-linked symmetric cationic gemini surfactants: Synthesis and evaluation as catalysts for acceleration of diastereoselective [3+2] cycloaddition reaction in reversed phase micellar mediaArticle00046172330000319720822210.1002/jsde.122261558-9293
