Question

Show the structure of the product from the Diels-Alder reaction between 2 moles of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) and one mole of quinone.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Diels-Alder reaction in organic chemistry is a reaction between a conjugated diene and a dinophile (an substituted alkene) to give a cyclohexene derivative product. It is a concerted reaction.

In the given reaction, quinone will be treated as dienophile and isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) as conjugated diene.

Structure of quinone and isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is as follows:
