(a)
Interpretation:
The diene and dienophile from the given compounds has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Diels-Alder reaction:
A conjugated diene reacts with a compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond. It is a cycloaddition reaction, where two reactants form a cyclic product.
Conformation of Diene:
S-cis Conformer: The double bonds are cis about the single bond (s stands for single), in an s-cis conformer.
S-trans Conformer: The double bonds are trans- about the single bond (s stands for single) in an s-trans conformer.
Condition for Diels-Alder reaction:
The conjugate diene must be in an s-cis conformation because when it is in an S-trans conformation, C-1 and C-4 are too far apart to react with the dienophile in a concerted reaction.

- How could the following compounds be synthesized using a Diels–Alder reaction?arrow_forwardHow could the following compound be synthesized using a diels-alder reaction?arrow_forwardTrue or False: Acetylene is a naturally occurring conjugated diene True or False: The Diels-Alder reaction has the stereochemistry of the dienophile is retained in the product. True or False: When looking at kinetic vs. thermodynamic products the kinetic product predominates at low temperature. True or False: the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reaction is three π bonds break; one σ bond and two π bonds form.arrow_forward
- What is the major product of the following Diels Alder reactions?arrow_forwardThe 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 shown in Problem 20.34.arrow_forwardwhat is the product after these compumds undergo a diels-alder reactionarrow_forward
