The analysis of the geometry and electronic structure of the transition state of the reaction with the ED dimethyl 2-methylenemalonate along with the analysis of the global and local electrophilicity indices of the reagents provide an explanation of the participation of this ED diene as nucleophile against powerful electrophiles in polar Diels-Alder reactions.
