Concept introduction:
A Diels–Alder reaction is one between a conjugate diene and a reactant containing a double bond (dienophile)to forma product. The product is called adduct.
Diels–Alder reactions are highly stereospecific. The configuration of the dienophile is retained in the product and the reaction is a syn addition reaction.
The dienes react with dienophiles in cis forms rather than trans forms.
Endo is favored in the transition state of a Diels–Alder reaction because it has a lower energy.

Chlordane, like DDT, is an alkyl halide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In 1983, it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in 1988, it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant?
Two substitution products result from the
reaction between 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-
butene with sodium acetate (CH3COO – Na +)
in acetic acid under SN1.
Identify the products.
Write a general rule that can be used to predict the major product of a Diels–Alder reaction between an alkene with an electron-withdrawing substituent and a diene with a substituent that can donate electrons by resonance depending on the location of the substituent on the diene.
