Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Theproducts formed from Diels Alder reaction of (2Z,4Z)-hexa-2,4-diene with methyl propenoate are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A Diels Alder reaction is one between a conjugate diene and a reactant containing a double bond (dienophile) to form a product. The product is called adduct.

Diels Alder reactions are highly stereospecific. The configuration of the dienophile is retained in the product and the reaction is a syn addition reaction.

The dienes react with dienophiles in cis forms rather than trans forms.

Endo and exo refer to the orientation of the dienophile and its electron-withdrawing group when it reacts with a diene in a Diels Ander reaction.

Endo is favored in the transition state of aDiels Ander reaction because it has a lower energy.

Of the three 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene isomers (E,E or E,Z or Z,Z) indicate the most suitable diene that can be used as a reactant in a Diels-Alder reaction. Explain your choice.
14. Please write the major product for each following Diels-Alder reaction. Explain why they are formed by using Frontier Molecular Orbital theory. (a) 1-(diethylamino)-1,3-butadiene + acrylate (b) 2-ethoxy-1,3-butadiene + acrylate Moreover, draw Molecular Orbitals of 1-(diethylamino)-1,3-butadiene, 2-ethoxy-1,3-butadiene & acrylate. In addition, mark energy levels and predict the products by using FMO theory.
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.
