Question

Can you please write the structure of the Diels-Alder products you would expect to isolate from each of the following reactions and explain it step by step so that I can solve problems similar to these. Thank you so much.

-- If there are arrows and/or tricks to remember when solving this type of problem, please include.

Practice problems: Cyclobutadiene is an extremely unstable compound whose isolation is impossible even at the lowest temperatures routinely accessible in the organic laboratory. However, free cyclobutadienes almost surely occur in some reactions as intermediates. We might expect cyclobutadienes to undergo Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions with itself (dimerization) or with reactive dienophiles. In fact, these extremely facile Diels-Alder reactions have been used to recognize mermediate cyclobutadiene. Write the structures of the Diels-Alder products you would expe isolate from each of the following reactions. dimerze, H3CO I C=O Zn I 2.
