Sulfolene is a precursor for 1,3-butadiene in this experiment. It reacts by a “cycloreversion" reaction (think reverse Diels-Alder). Draw the mechanism that shows the formation of 1,3- butadiene from sulfolene. 140°C SO2 + Once 1,3-butadiene forms, it can participate in the Diels-Alder reaction. Draw the mechanism for the Diels-Alder reaction. 140°C If you measured the optical rotation of the Diels-Alder product, you would observe no optical activity. Why not?
