<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">A comparative study of Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and dimethyl maleate in catalytic system is reported. The catalytic system was formed from ionic liquid which was made of N-hexylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate. The yields, TONs, TOFs and <italic>endo:exo</italic> ratios were calculated. The optimal catalyst concentration was found in order to obtain the mixture of <italic>endo, exo</italic> isomers with the highest yields. Moreover recycling of the catalytic system consisting of Mg(OTf)2 (2 mol%) and ionic liquid was performed. The distillation was noticed to be a better product removal method than extraction by organic solvent, taking into consideration both the TON and TOF values.</abstract>
