Illustration of DA reactions. According to Fukui’s theory, DA reactions should be described as the mutual delocalization of electrons between FMOs of the involved diene molecule and the dienophile molecule. Left: the LUMO of diene interacts with the HOMO of dienophile. Right: the HOMO of diene interacts with the LUMO of dienophile.
