Acrolein and 1,3-cyclohexadiene react in a one-step concerted manner to yield a single product. Give the structure of the product. What kind of reaction is this an example of? In terms of this reaction, how would you classify acrolein? How would you classify 1,3-cyclohexadiene? Hint: acrolein is not a systematic name so you may need to look up its structure if you are not already familiar with it.
