ジエンのHOMOとジエノフィルのLUMOの組み合わせが主に効く反応を順電子要請型(normal electron demand)と呼びます。ふつうのディールス・アルダー反応はこの型で、電子供与基をもつジエンと電子求引基をもつジエノフィルの組み合わせがよく反応します。反対に、電子の不足したジエン(テトラジン類など)と電子の豊富なジエノフィルの組み合わせでは、ジエンのLUMOとジエノフィルのHOMOの相互作用が主になり、逆電子要請型(inverse electron demand)と呼ばれます10。逆電子要請型のテトラジンとひずんだアルケン(trans-シクロオクテン)の反応は非常に速く、生体分子に目印を付ける反応としても使われています11。
