The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between anthracene and excess 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione has been investigated in supercritical CO{sub 2} at 40 C and pressures between 75 and 216 bar. Biomolecular reaction rate constants have been measured via fluorescence spectroscopy by following the decrease in anthracene concentration with reaction time. The reaction rate is elevated in the vicinity of the critical pressure. This difference is consistent with local composition enhancement and can be modeled with the Peng-Robinson equation of state.
