Abstract: The Diels-Alder reaction of butadiene with maleic anhydride can bc catalyzed by various lanthanide chloride under mild conditions with satisfactory yield, The activities of the catalysts are greatly dependent on the atomical number of the lanthanide of the catalysts.

Key words: lanthanide chloride, catalysis, Diels-Alder reaction
