Step 6: Now that you have determined the substrates and mechanism of a Diels-Alder reaction, you will learn how to recognize when you should use the Diels-Alder reaction. In a synthesis reaction, if you are given a cyclohexene product with no other obvious functional group transformations and an electron-withdrawing group two carbons away from the alkene, it is likely made via the Diels-Alder reaction. Deduce the structures of the starting materials to form the Diels-Alder adduct shown. ..... CN CN Diene + Dienophile

Identify the starting materials that would be needed to produce the Diels-Alder products shown below.
The diene lactone shown in part (a) has one electron-donating group (¬OR) and one electron-withdrawing group(C“O). This diene lactone is sufficiently electron-rich to serve as the diene in a Diels–Alder reaction.(a) What product would you expect to form when this diene reacts with methyl acetylenecarboxylate, a strong dienophile?
The following triene undergoes an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to give a bicyclic product. Propose a structural formula for the product.

A very large number of Diels-Alder reactions are recorded in the chemical literature, many of which involve relatively complicated dienes, dienophiles, or both. Predict the constitution of the Diels-Alder adduct that is expected to form from the combination of diene and dienophile below. Draw the structure of the predicted product, including relevant stereochemistry when applicable. If applicable, use the Bicyclic Stamp tool and guide points to draw each structure.

Following is an example of a type of reaction known as a Diels-Alder reaction 1,3-Pentadiene Ethylene 3-Methylcyclohexene (a racemic mixture) The Diels-Alder reaction between a diene and an alkene is quite remarkable in that it is one of the few ways that chemists have to form two new carbon-carbon bonds in a single reaction. Given what you know about the relative strengths of carbon-carbon sigma and pi bonds, would you predict the Diels-Alder reaction to be exothermic or endothermic? Explain your reasoning.

Diels Alder Reaction of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Purpose of the Experiment: To successfully synthesize dimethyltetraphenylphthalate via a Diels Alder reaction. The melting point of the product is 258oC. Why should we not do a melting point of the product? The intermediate in brackets loses CO to form the product at 180oC. If the C=O were replaced by CH2, do you think the same type of reaction would happen with loss of :CH2?
