**Question 3:**

What is the product of the following reaction?

**Reaction:**

A structural diagram depicts a cyclopentene ring reacting with a diester compound having the formula H\(_3\)CO\(_2\)C-CH=CH-CO\(_2\)CH\(_3\).

**Options:**

a. A bicyclic compound with both CO\(_2\)CH\(_3\) groups attached to the same carbon atom on the six-membered ring.

b. A bicyclic compound with two adjacent, single-bonded CH\(_2\)O\(_2\)CH\(_3\) groups on a six-membered ring. *(This option is circled.)*

c. A bicyclic compound with two CO\(_2\)CH\(_3\) groups attached to the fusion of the two rings.

d. A bicyclic compound with two adjacent single-bonded CH\(_2\)O\(_2\)CH\(_3\) groups on a six-membered ring, similar to option b but with different connectivity and orientation.

**Explanation:**

This problem involves determining the major product of a chemical reaction, given the starting materials and possible products. Understanding the mechanism and predicting the outcome based on structure and functional groups is key to solving such problems in organic chemistry.
