8. The nature of cyclopentadiene (right) was discussed in detail in both lectureand the textbook. The predominant form of stored cyclopentadiene is a dimerformed by the Diels-Alder reaction of two molecules of cyclopentadiene, one ofwhich serves as the diene and the other as the dienophile.a. Draw the mechanism for the dimerization of cyclopentadiene. [6 pts]Show electron flow with 'curly arrows!Draw the structure of the dimer.cyclopentadieneb. Succinctly explain how cyclopentadiene can be used in a Diels-Alder reaction with propene(CH3CH=CH2) even though cyclopentadiene is initially the dimer and thus not a diene. Write incomplete sentences and earn a bonus point for using the correct name for the first step of the reactionsequence. Do NOT exceed the given space. [3 pts]c. Draw the product of the Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and propene. [2 pts]

Imagine that you used isoprene as diene – in that case you don’t have to worry about assigning endo vs exo. Draw the "endo" and "exo" products of the Diels-Alder reaction between isoprene and maleic anhydride, and explain why the distinction is irrelevant here.
