(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major product for the given Diels-Alder reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Diels-alder reaction is a cycloaddition reaction in which two molecules combine to form a new ring. In this type of reaction, syn addition takes place. It is a reaction between diene with a dienophile to yield a cyclohexene derivative. The dienophile adds to one side of the diene, and the diene adds to the one side of the dienophile. Thus, they have syn stereochemistry.

(b)

True or False: Acetylene is a naturally occurring conjugated diene   True or False: The Diels-Alder reaction has the stereochemistry of the dienophile is retained in the product.     True or False: When looking at kinetic vs. thermodynamic products the kinetic product predominates at low temperature.   True or False: the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reaction is three π bonds break; one σ bond and two π bonds form.
Provide products/reactants/reagents stereochemistry and regiochemistry in mind. for each Diels-Alder reaction below. Keep
Compounds P and Q can undergo a Diels-Alder reaction to form two regioisomeric products R and S as shown in Figure 5. OMe O C8H12O2 R C8H12O2 S Figure 5 Draw the chemical structures of regioisomeric compounds R and S. Using possible resonance contributors of P and Q predict which of the two regioisomers will be favoured in the reaction. Using curly arrows, draw the mechanism for the reaction of P and Q to form the dominant regioisomer you have predicted in your answer to part (ii) above.
