Which of the following statments is TRUE about the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction? The best reactions occur with an electron-rich diene and an electron-poor dienophile. The reaction favors the exo-product. Entropy drives the reaction toward the cyclohexene product. The reaction is not stereospecific with respect to the dienophile stereochemistry.
