Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A reactant that could be reacts with hexachlorocylopentadiene to gives chlordane through the Diels-Alder reaction has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Cycloaddition reaction is a concerted addition reaction of two reactants to form a ring; in which two π-bonds are converted to two σ-bonds.
Diels-Alder reaction is a
The mechanism of the ring formation in the Diels-Alder reaction is drawn by using three arrows representing the shifting of π-bonds in the two π-systems in a clockwise or counter clockwise fashion, so that the ring formation will take place.
Cyclopentadiene can undergo Diels-Alder reaction itself to form a dimer,
Endo-product is the major product in bicyclic-products of Diels-Alder reaction; because the electron-withdrawing substituents of dienophile and the newly forming π-bond of diene are interacted each other.

In a laboratory experiment, 3.80 mL of this compound was treated with 4.80 mL of conc. H2SO4 (100% w/w; molar mass 98.08 g/mol). Note that the density of conc. H2SO4 is 1.84 g/mL. The resulting sulfate ester was then treated with 1.20 mL of water (molar mass 18.02 g/mol) affording, after work- up, 2,4-pentanediol (molar mass 104.15 g/mol) as the crude product. The crude product was then purified by simple distillation, which yielded 2.00 g of pure product. What is the theoretical yield of 2,4-pentanediol expressed in grams? Show calculations.
