- 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 often predominates. Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant and use the charge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstituted product is the major product.arrow_forwardWrite structural formulas for toluene (C6H5CH3) and for benzoic acid (C6H5CO2H) (a) as resonance hybrids of two Kekulé forms and (b) with the Robinson symbol.arrow_forward2) Predict the major product for each Diels-Alder reaction.

- To be aromatic, a molecule must have 4n + 2 πs electrons and must have a planar, monocyclic system of conjugation. Cyclodecapentaene fulfills one of these criteria but not the other and has resisted all attempts at synthesis. Explain.arrow_forwardUemura and coworkers studied a time dependent Diels-Alder reaction which first formed the endo product as the major organic product and with time produced the exo product (J. Org. Chem. 2018, 83, 9300−9304). Show the endo and exo product for the reaction below. Which is the thermodynamic product and which is the kinetic product? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardAlkenyl halides such as vinyl bromide, CH2=CHBr, undergo neither SN1 nor SN2 reactions. What factors account for this lack of reactivity?arrow_forward

Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant, and use the charge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstituted product is the major product.arrow_forwardWhen anthracene is added to the reaction of chlorobenzene with concentrated NaOH at 350 °C, an interesting Diels–Alderadduct of formula C20H14 results. The proton NMR spectrum of the product shows a singlet of area 2 around d 3 and abroad singlet of area 12 around d 7. Propose a structure for the product, and explain why one of the aromatic rings ofanthracene reacted as a dienearrow_forwardOne of the four criteria of aromaticity by Hückel is planarity of the rings containing 4n+2 electrons. Based on the Hückel rules, can a compound be aromatic but not planar? Please explain your answer.arrow_forward
- True or False: Acetylene is a naturally occurring conjugated diene True or False: The Diels-Alder reaction has the stereochemistry of the dienophile is retained in the product. True or False: When looking at kinetic vs. thermodynamic products the kinetic product predominates at low temperature. True or False: the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reaction is three π bonds break; one σ bond and two π bonds form.arrow_forwardCompound A, C₂H16 reacts with 1 molar equivalent(s) of hydrogen on catalytic hydrogenation. A undergoes reaction with ozone, followed by Zn treatment, to give: O CH3 O || CH3CCH₂CCH₂CCH3 CH3 Compound A Propose a structure for A. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.arrow_forwardα-Terpinene, C10H16, is a pleasant-smelling hydrocarbon that has been isolated from oil of marjoram. On hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, α-terpinene reacts with 2 molar equivalents of H2 to yield a hydrocarbon, C10H20. On ozonolysis, followed by reduction with zinc and acetic acid, α-terpinene yields two products, glyoxal and 6-methyl-2,5- heptanedione. (a) How many degrees of unsaturation does a-terpinene have? (b) How many double bonds and how many rings does it have? (c) Propose a structure for a-terpinene.arrow_forward
