(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the Diels-Alder reaction of
Concept introduction:
Diels-Alder reaction is a reaction between conjugated diene and alkene. It is also known as
In the given conditions of the reaction, if the products of any reaction do not attain the equilibrium then the reaction is known as kinetically controlled reaction.
In the given conditions of the reaction, if the products of any reaction attain the equilibrium then the reaction is known as thermodynamically controlled reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The two diagrams which show the transition state that results in the formation of the endo product, and the other showing the transition state that leads to the exo product are to be drawn. The diagram that shows the transition state of the reaction at low temperature is to be stated.

- Draw the mechanism (including all curved arrows for electron movement) showing how the maleicanhydride is attacked by the anthracene and formation of the final Diels Alder product.arrow_forwardProvide the missing information. *see imagearrow_forwardProvide the missing information. *see imagearrow_forward
- Provide the missing information. *see imagearrow_forwardI have a bottle of butanal that has been improperly used by lab workers. They allowed a traceamount NaOH (aq) to contaminate the bottle. What is now in my bottle of “butanal? What is the molecular name and functional group name? Draw the structure.arrow_forwardProvide the missing information. *see imagearrow_forward
- First image: Why can't the molecule C be formed in those conditions Second image: Synthesis for lactone C its not an examarrow_forwardFirst image: I have to show the mecanism for the reaction on the left, where the alcohol A is added fast in one portion Second image: I have to show the mecanism of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primaryarrow_forwardFirst image: I have to explain why the molecule C is never formed in those conditions.
