Question
Chapter 14.SE, Problem 21MP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the retro Diels-Alder reaction shown is to be given.
Concept introduction:
In Diels-Alder reaction, a dienophile reacts with a diene to yield a cyclic adduct. The reaction takes place through 1,4 addition of the dienophile into the diene through a cyclic transition state. The reverse reaction is known as retro Diels-Alder reaction.
To give:
The mechanism for the retro Diels-Alder reaction shown.

Write the reagents required to bring about each reaction next to the arrows shown.
Next, record any regiochemistry or stereochemistry considerations relevant to the
reaction. You should also record any key aspects of the mechanism, such as forma-
tion of an important intermediate, as a helpful reminder. You may want to keep
track of all reactions that make carbon-carbon bonds, because these help you build
large molecules from smaller fragments. This especially applies to the reactions in…
