A Diels Alder reaction occurs with 4.25 g of cyclopentadiene, an equimolar amount of dienophile, and 50 mL of ether was used as the solvent. The product is bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester. Given that information, what is the moles of each reactant, and what is the theoretical yeild of he product. (include the balanced equation)

An organic compound A (C2H3N) is used as a solvent of choice for many organic reactions because it is not reactive in mild acidic and basic conditions. Compound A on treatment with Ni/ H2 forms B. When B is treated with nitrous acid at 273K ethanol is obtained. When B is warmed with chloroform and NaOH a foul smelling compound C formed. Identify A, B and C.
Chlordane, like DDT, is an alkyl halide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In 1983, it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in 1988, it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant?
