Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of isodrin is to be proposed, which obtained when cyclopentadiene undergoing a Diels–Alder reaction with hexachloronorbadiene.

Concept introduction:

A Diels–Alder reaction is one between a conjugate diene and a reactant containing a double bond (dienophile) to form a 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.
