Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of the two Diels-Alder adducts formed when isoprene (2-methyl-1, 3-butadiene) reacts with ethyl propenoate are to be given and why a mixture of products is formed is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

In Diels-Alder reaction, a dienophile reacts with a diene to yield a cyclic adduct. The reaction takes place through 1, 4 addition of the dienophile into the diene through a cyclic transition state. These reactions occur rapidly with dienophiles having electron withdrawing substituent groups in conjugation with the double bond and if the diene adapts a s-cis conformation during the reaction.

To give:

The structures of the two Diels-Alder adducts formed when isoprene (2-methyl-1, 3-butadiene) reacts with ethyl propenoate and to explain why a mixture of products is formed.

What is the structural requirement for a substance to react with ammoniacal AgNO3? Why would acetylene react with Tollen's reagent but not cyclohexane or cyclohexene?
Treatment of a hydrocarbon A (molecular formula C9H18) with Br2 in the presence of light forms alkyl halides B and C, both having molecular formula C9H17Br. Reaction of either B or C with KOC(CH3)3 forms compound D (C9H16) as the major product. Ozonolysis of D forms cyclohexanone and acetone. Identify the structures of A–D.
An achiral hydrocarbon A of molecular formula C7H12 reacts with two equivalents of H2 in the presence of Pd-C to form  CH3CH2CH2CH2CH(CH3)2.   One oxidative cleavage product formed by the treatment of A with O3 is CH3COOH. Reaction of A with H2 and Lindlar catalyst forms B, and reaction of A with Na, NH3 forms C.  Identify compounds A, B, and C. Be sure to answer all parts.
