Question
Circle the best dienophile

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 1**
Circle the best dienophile.
**Explanation:**
The image presents three organic compounds, each depicted with a chemical structure:
1. **Compound 1**: A six-membered carbon ring with a double bond (ketone group) and a double bond within the ring.
2. **Compound 2**: A six-membered carbon ring with a double bond (ketone group) attached and another double bond within the ring.
3. **Compound 3**: A six-membered carbon ring with a methyl group (CH₃) and a double bond within the ring.
**Objective**: Determine which compound acts as the best dienophile, a critical participant in Diels-Alder reactions, characterized by the ability to accept electrons from a diene due to the presence of an electron-withdrawing group, like the carbonyl group in Compounds 1 and 2.
