please answer part two (Please answer "What is BP of the solvent, and the authors state... why is that important"). thank you

"The 3-Sulfolene is the prime molecule used for synthesis for the 1,3-butadiene molecule. The mechanism involves breaking of two C-S bonds in 3-sulfolene to generate 1,3-butadiene in the presence of heat. The reaction can be shown as below:

 

This reaction is a type of pericyclic reaction that involves breaking and making of bonds in a single step and hence there will be no intermediate formed.  The solvent used here is water." https://www.bartleby.com/questions-and-answers/3-sulfolene-a-butadiene-source-for-a-diels-alde-synthesis.-please-be-prepared-to-take-a-quiz-on-this/8bf8358d-dbdf-46f9-97db-6f744d66c0cd

Please be prepared to take a quiz on this
experiment.
Be able to write an equation for this reaction.
What intermediate is formed.
What solvent is used.
What is boiling point of the solvent?
The authors state that by using solvent they were
able to control decomposition of 3-sulfolene in 25-
30 minutes.
Why is that important?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Diels-Alder reaction is a type of pericyclic reaction between a conjugated diene (two double bonds) and a dienophile (an alkene with an electron-withdrawing group).

The simplest Diels-Alder reaction is the reaction of butadiene with ethene to cyclohexane.
