- The following triene undergoes an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to give a bicyclic product. Propose a structural formula for the product. Account for the observation that the Diels-Alder reaction given in this problem takes place under milder conditions (at lower temperature) than the analogous Diels-Alder reaction shown in Problem 20.34.arrow_forwardIs the following true or false? To catalyse a Diels-Alder reaction a common approach involves the use of a Lewis acid capable of lowering the LUMO of the dienophile.arrow_forwardDefine about Sigmatropic Rearrangements ?arrow_forward
- Reaction of iodoethane with CN- yields a small amount of isonitrile, CH3CH2N≡C, along with the nitrile CH3CH2N≡N, as the major product. Write electron-dot structures for both products, assign formal charges as necessary, and propose mechanisms to account for their formation.arrow_forwardwhat is the bond line formula of C6H12O2 with respect to given IR spectra and NMRarrow_forwardHow many linear dienes have molecular formula C6H10? (Disregard cis–trans isomers.) A. How many of the linear dienes in part a are conjugated dienes? B. How many are isolated dienes? C. How many are cumulated dienes?arrow_forward
- When 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_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 often predominates. Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant and use the charge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstituted product is the major product.arrow_forwardWhich constitutional isomer represents the product of this Diels-Alder reaction?arrow_forward
