This review discusses the principles of green chemistry, as well as recent applications of these principles to the Diels-Alder reaction with a focus on benign solvent systems. Specifically, Diels-Alder reactions in water, ionic liquids, supercritical carbon dioxide, and solvent-free systems will be reviewed up to February 2006.} }
