Interpretation:
The structure with stereochemistry of the product formed when dimethylbutynedioate undergoes Diels-Alder reaction with (2E,4E) 2.4-hexadiene is to be given.
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 give:
The structure and stereochemistry of the product formed when dimethylbutynedioate undergoes Diels-Alder reaction with (2E,4E) 2,4-hexadiene.
