- (A) Which triene has the smallest heat of hydrogenation? Explain why. (B) Which triene can be reactive in the Diels-Alder reaction? (C) Which triene is the most reactive in the Diels-Alder reaction?arrow_forwardDevise a stepwise synthesis of each compound from dicyclopentadiene using a Diels–Alder reaction as one step. You may also use organic compounds having ≤ 4 C's, and any required organic or inorganic reagents.arrow_forwardWith reference to diene A:a. What product is formed when A undergoes a [2 + 2] cycloaddition?b. What product is formed when A undergoes a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement?arrow_forward
- (a) What is the major alkene formed when A is dehydrated with H2SO4? (b) What is the major alkene formed when A is treated with POCl3 and pyridine? Explain why the major product is different in these reactions.arrow_forward1. Draw the organic product (ignoring stereochemistry) 2. State whether the process is overall oxidation, overall reduction, or neither.arrow_forwardFor alkenes A, B, and C: (a) Rank A, B, and C in order of increasing heat of hydrogenation; (b) rank A, B, and C in order of increasing rate of reaction with H2, Pd-C; (c) draw the products formed when each alkene is treated with ozone, followed by Zn, H2O.arrow_forward
- Sulfur ylides, like the phosphorus ylides, are usefulintermediates in organic synthesis. Methyl trans-chrysanthemate, anintermediate in the synthesis of the insecticide pyrethrin I,can be prepared from diene A and a sulfur ylide. Draw a stepwisemechanism for this reaction.arrow_forwardDraw the product formed when the following compound undergoes an electrocyclic reaction a. under thermal conditions. b. under photochemical conditions.arrow_forwardWhat is the major alkene formed when A is treated with POCl3 andpyridine? Explain why the major product is different in these reactions.arrow_forward
