Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Whether a conjugated diyne such as 1,3-butadiyne will give Diels-Alder reaction with a dienophile or not is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
In Diels-Alder reaction, a dienophile reacts with a diene to yield a cyclic adduct. The reaction takes place through 1,4 addition of the dienophile into the diene through a cyclic transition state. These reactions occur rapidly with dienophiles having electron withdrawing substituent groups in conjugation with the double bond and if the diene adapts a s-cis conformation during the reaction.
To explain:
Whether a conjugated diyne such as 1,3-butadiyne will give Diels-Alder reaction with a dienophile or not.

- The carbocation electrophile in a Friedel-Crafts reaction can be generated in ways other than by reaction of an alkyl chloride with AlCl3. For example, reaction of benzene with 2-methylpropene in the presence of H3PO4 yields tert-butylbenzene.
