The 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.
Diels–Alder reaction of a monosubstituted diene (such as CH2=CH–CH=CHOCH3) with a monosubstituted dienophile (such as CH2=CHCHO)gives a mixture of products, but the 1,2-disubstituted product oftenpredominates. Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant, and use thecharge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstitutedproduct is the major product.

How do you draw the diels-alder product for this with stereochemistry? How do you know they are cis?
In 4+2 cycloaddition, ENDO stereochemistry is preferred because: endo stereochemistry allows the diene to adopt s-cis conformation. endo stereochemistry results in less steric hindrance. the transition state leading to endo stereochemistry is higher energy. it allows for additional π to π overlap between the diene and the dienophile.
