Question

Draw the correct product for the following Diels�Alder reaction:

Draw the correct product for the following Diels- Aider reaction: The Diels- Alder reaction reacts a diene and a dienophile to form a cyclohexene with two new sigma bonds and a new pi bond. Identify the new bonds in the product.

Answer 1

Concepts and reason

Diels alder reaction: Diels alder reaction is a 4+2 cycloaddition reaction between diene and dienophile. In this reaction, three pi-bonds will break to form two sigma bonds and one pi-bond.

Fundamentals

Diels alder reaction follows a concerted, mechanistic pathway; that means that the reaction is a one-step mechanism.

It is clear from the above example that there are three pi-bonds from diene and dienophile to produce two new sigma bonds and one pi-bond in the products.

The given reaction condition is drawn below.

It is clear that the reaction refers to a Diels alder reaction which refers to 4+2 cycloaddition.

The given reaction condition is drawn below.

The product during the Diels alder reaction is written below in a reaction:
