- Predict the major product of the following Diels-Alder reactions with the correct regiochemistry and stereochemistry. If an enantiomer is also made, indicate the enantiomer by adding “+ EN” beside the major product. Please explain step by step.arrow_forwardDraw the reactants that would be used to form this cyclohexene derivative in a Diels- Alder reaction. Include any relevant stereochemical configurations. Draw Diene + ·00 aarrow_forwardPlease draw out the structures of compound A, B, C, D and E. The formula of Compound A is C5H6. Compound A react with 2 equivalent of Br2 to produce product B; Compound A was oxidized with KMN04 to give two carboxylic acids C and D. Compound A can undergo Diels-Alder reaction with maleic anhydride to produce compound E.arrow_forward
- Chlordane, like DDT, is an alkyl halide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In 1983, it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in 1988, it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant?arrow_forwardCyclopentadienyl anion (shown) has the following characteristic. O it is an anion with six π electrons, meeting the Hückel rule for aromaticity O it is not aromatic because it has only four electrons and the tetrahedral carbon prevents cyclic conjugation O it is an anion with six electrons, meeting the Hückel rule for anti-aromaticity O it is an anion with four electrons, meeting the Hückel rule for aromaticityarrow_forwardAddition of HBr to allene (CH2=C=CH2) forms 2-bromoprop-1-ene rather than 3-bromoprop-1-ene, even though 3-bromoprop-1-ene is formed from an allylic carbocation. Considering the arrangement of orbitals in the allene reactant, explain this result.arrow_forward
- The diene lactone shown in part (a) has one electron-donating group (¬OR) and one electron-withdrawing group(C“O). This diene lactone is sufficiently electron-rich to serve as the diene in a Diels–Alder reaction.(a) What product would you expect to form when this diene reacts with methyl acetylenecarboxylate, a strong dienophile?arrow_forwardUnder certain reaction conditions, 2,3-dibromobutane reacts with two equivalents of base to give three products, each of which contains two new p bonds. Product A has two sp hybridized carbon atoms, product B has one sp hybridized carbon atom, and product C has none. What are the structures of A, B, and C?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_forward
- The Diels–Alder reaction between butadiene and dimethyl maleate yields a ring structure, as shown in the product. Complete the structure by drawing any missing bonds and indicating the stereochemistry of the new stereocenters.arrow_forwardcis-1-Bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane and trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane both react with sodium ethoxide in ethanol to form 4-tert-butylcyclohexene. Explain why the cis isomer reacts much more rapidly than the trans isomer.arrow_forwardAccount for the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity observed when this compound is treated with Br2 in H₂O by drawing the final product in the reaction. • Use wedge and hash bonds ONLY when needed to show reaction stereochemistry. • If the reaction produces a racemic mixture, just draw one stereoisomer.arrow_forward
