Step 6: Now that you have determined the substrates and mechanism of a Diels-Alder reaction, you will learn how to recognize when you should use the Diels-Alder reaction. In a synthesis reaction, if you are given a cyclohexene product with no other obvious functional group transformations and an electron-withdrawing group two carbons away from the alkene, it is likely made via the Diels-Alder reaction. Deduce the structures of the starting materials to form the Diels-Alder adduct shown. ..... CN CN Diene + Dienophile

Following is an example of a type of reaction known as a Diels-Alder reaction 1,3-Pentadiene Ethylene 3-Methylcyclohexene (a racemic mixture) The Diels-Alder reaction between a diene and an alkene is quite remarkable in that it is one of the few ways that chemists have to form two new carbon-carbon bonds in a single reaction. Given what you know about the relative strengths of carbon-carbon sigma and pi bonds, would you predict the Diels-Alder reaction to be exothermic or endothermic? Explain your reasoning.
The following triene undergoes an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to give a bicyclic product. Propose a structural formula for the product. Account for the observation that the Diels-Alder reaction given in this problem takes place under milder conditions (at lower temperature) than the analogous Diels-Alder reaction 0"C Diels-Alder adduct
Write a general rule that can be used to predict the major product of a Diels–Alder reaction between an alkene with an electron-withdrawing substituent and a diene with a substituent that can donate electrons by resonance depending on the location of the substituent on the diene.
Draw and discuss the mechanism (with arrows to show electron movements) of the Diels-Alder reaction between anthracene and maleic anhydride. Draw the orientation and phases of the reacting p-orbitals showing how they overlap in a “suprafacial” geometry to form product

One step in the synthesis of dodecahedrane involves reaction of the tetraene C with dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate (D) to afford two compounds having molecular formula C16H16O4. This reaction has been called a domino Diels–Alder reaction. Identify the two products formed.
A very large number of Diels-Alder reactions are recorded in the chemical literature, many of which involve relatively complicated dienes, dienophiles, or both. Predict the constitution of the Diels-Alder adduct that is expected to form from the combination of diene and dienophile below. Draw the structure of the predicted product, including relevant stereochemistry when applicable. If applicable, use the Bicyclic Stamp tool and guide points to draw each structure.
