Question
a) Draw a detailed mechanism for the reaction and show the structures of the endo and exo products.
b) Label the endo and exo product in part a.
c) Which transition state is lower in energy, the one leading to the exo product or the one leading to the endo product?
d) Which product do you expect to be more stable (the exo or the endo product) and why?
Using your answers to part c and d, draw the reaction co-ordinate diagram for the Diels-Alder reaction shown above. Which product do you expect to be favored at high temperatures, and which product at low temperatures (which product is the kinetic product and which one the
