What combination of diene and dienophile would you choose in order to prepare each of the following compounds?

Sample Solution (a) Using curved arrows, we represent a Diels–Alder reaction as

To deduce the identity of the diene and dienophile that lead to a particular Diels–Alder adduct, we use curved arrows in the reverse fashion to “undo” the cyclohexene derivative. Start with the π component of the double bond in the six-membered ring, and move electrons in pairs.
