The diene lactone shown in part (a) has one electron-donating group (¬OR) and one electron-withdrawing group(C“O). This diene lactone is sufficiently electron-rich to serve as the diene in a Diels–Alder reaction.(a) What product would you expect to form when this diene reacts with methyl acetylenecarboxylate, a strong dienophile?

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.
