two positions of anthracene sometimes react more like polyenes thanlike aromatic compounds.(a) Draw a Kekulé structure that shows how the reactive positions of anthracene are the ends ofa diene, appropriate for a Diels–Alder reaction.(b) The Diels–Alder reaction of anthracene with maleic anhydride is a common organic labexperiment. Predict the product of this Diels–Alder reaction.
Borole is a particularly unique heterocycle that has gained considerable attention in recent years for its peculiar reactivity.
Draw a molecular orbital diagram for the pi system of borole (including the placement of its pi electrons) and provide an
analysis of its aromaticity using Hückel's rule denoting whether borole is in fact aromatic, antiaromatic, or nonaromatic.

Pyrene has been determined experimentally to be aromatic. At first glance, however, its structure appears to break Hückel’s rule. How so? Can you explain why pyrene exhibits aromaticity?Hint: What are the characteristics of the π system on the periphery of the molecule?
