Question
### Classify Dienes That Will React with Ethene in a Diels-Alder Reaction

#### Instructions
Select which dienes from the answer bank will react with ethene in a Diels-Alder reaction and classify them under the appropriate category.

#### Categories
- **Will react**
- **Will not react**

#### Answer Bank
The answer bank includes six chemical structures. Detailed descriptions of the structures are as follows:

1. **First Structure**:
   - It is a bicyclic compound with two hexagonal rings fused together.
   
2. **Second Structure**:
   - Contains two butadiene units.
   - The structure has a long carbon chain with alternating double bonds.
   - This is an aromatic compound with five carbon atoms and one double bond.

3. **Third Structure**:
   - It is a cyclic compound with a pentagon ring and one double bond.
   
4. **Fourth Structure**:
   - It is a pentagon ring with two double bonds.

#### Graphical Representation
- Two empty boxes labeled "Will react" and "Will not react" are provided.
- Students need to drag each structure from the answer bank into the appropriate box based on whether they will react with ethene in a Diels-Alder reaction.

#### Educational Note
The Diels-Alder reaction is a chemical reaction between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile, to form a substituted cyclohexene system. It is a useful reaction for forming six-membered rings and is used in synthetic organic chemistry for constructing complex natural products.

#### Analyze the Structures
- For a compound to react in a Diels-Alder reaction with ethene, it must contain a diene which is in the correct s-cis conformation.
- Check each structure:
  - Is there a conjugated diene present?
  - Is the diene able to adopt the s-cis conformation?

Use this information to classify the dienes under the appropriate categories.
