Interpretation:
The observation that 1, 3-cyclopentadiene is very reactive in Diels-Alder reaction, but 1, 3-cyclohexadiene is less reactive and 1, 3-cycloheptadiene is inert 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:
The observation that 1, 3-cyclopentadiene is very reactive in Diels-Alder reaction, but 1, 3-cyclohexadiene is less reactive and 1, 3-cycloheptadiene is inert.

Explain.arrow_forwardGive major products for 1,2-/1,4-additions (A) Diels-Alder (B-D) cycloadditions [2+2] cycloadditions , and Retro-Diels-Alder (E) cycloaddition. Illustrate the regiochemistry and stereochemistry (me so, enatiomer., exo or Endo) for cycloadditions B-D?arrow_forwardDiels–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 oftenpredominates. Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant, and use thecharge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstitutedproduct is the major product.arrow_forward

- 15 predict the product of these diels-alder cycloadditionsarrow_forwardBASED ON THIS EXPERIMENT: The purpose of this experiment is to perform a Diels-Alder reaction between E,E-2,4-hexadien-1-ol and maleic anhydride in a "neat" or solventless condition. The Diels-Alder reaction is a [4+2] cycloaddition that forms a six-membered ring, typically a derivative of cyclohexene. The diene, E,E-2,4-hexadien-1-ol, and the dienophile, maleic anhydride, will be mixed and ground together, resulting in a eutectic mixture. The reaction is unique as it occurs without a solvent, contributing to a "greener" experiment. After the reaction, the product will be analyzed through mass measurements, and the mechanism involves a subsequent nucleophilic acyl substitution. QUESTION: how many carbon atoms does a dienophile contribute to the Diels-Alderadduct? How many carbon atoms does a diene contribute? draw andlabel which reagent is the diene, and which is the dienophile.arrow_forwardreaction of either 3-bromo-1-butene or (Z) -1-bromo-2-butene with water under SN1 condition yields the same product explain whyarrow_forward
