Interpretation:
Structural formulas for all the conjugated, isolated, and cumulated dienes that give
Concept introduction:
Catalytic hydrogenation is the addition of two atoms of hydrogen to a double bond. A compound with two double bonds undergoes catalytic hydrogenation, then there will be addition of four atoms of hydrogen.
This reaction occurs in the presence of platinum, palladium, nickel, or rhodium. One molar equivalent of hydrogen, when added to
Conjugated dienes contain two
Isolated dienes contain two
Cumulated dienes contain two

- Complete the following Diels-Alder reaction by drawing a structure for the product formed. Consider the resonance in the diene and dienophile and draw partial charges at correct positions. That will help you in drawing the correct product.arrow_forwardThe Wittig reaction can be used for the synthesis of conjugated dienes as the example below, 1-phenyl-penta-1, 3-diene. Propose two different sets of reagents that could be combined in a Wittig reaction to give 1-phenyl-1,3-pentadiene.arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forward
