Diels–Alder reaction of a monosubstituted diene (such as CH2=CH–CH=CHOCH3) with a monosubstituted dienophile (such as CH2=CHCHO)gives a mixture of products, but the 1,2-disubstituted product oftenpredominates. Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant, and use thecharge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstitutedproduct is the major product.
Mechanism The Diels-Alder reaction is part of a class of reactions known as a cycloaddition reaction. This reaction is specifically a [4+2] cycloaddition which is a concerted (one-step) process in which two new carbon - carbon sigma bonds are formed from two pi bonds. For the first Diels - Alder step of the mechanism fill in the arrows needed for the transformation. The rest of the mechanism is drawn for you. OH Show mechanism arrows for this step! 4 + 2 cycloaddition OH H D- & H+ transfer OH Nuc acyl substitution H L.G.

1,3-Butadiene is a gas at room temperature that requires a gas-handling apparatus to use in a Diels-Alder reaction. Butadiene sulfone is a convenient substitute for gaseous 1,3-butadiene. This sulfone is a solid at room temperature (mp 66°C), and when heated above its boiling point of 110°C, it decomposes by a reverse Diels-Alder reaction to give cis-1,3-butadiene and sulfur dioxide. Draw Lewis structures for butadiene sulfone and SO, then show by curved arrows the path of this reaction, which resembles a reverse Diels-Alder reaction. 140°C SO2 Butadiene sulfone 1,3-Butadiene Sulfur dioxide
