The reaction of thermally allowed cycloaddition of two butadiene molecules is to be shown and an explanation corresponding to the fact that it is thermally allowed is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Diels-alder reaction is a cycloaddition reaction in which two molecules combine to form a new ring. In this type of reaction, syn addition takes place. It is a reaction between diene with a dienophile to yield a cyclohexene. The dienophile adds to one side of the diene, and the diene adds to the one side of the dienophile. Thus, they have syn stereochemistry.

Although the Diels-Alder reaction generally occurs between an electron-rich diene and an electron- deficient dienophile, it is also possible to have inverse-demand Diels-Alder reactions between suitable electron-deficient conjugated double bonds and electron-rich alkenes. These reactions are particularly useful because they allow for the incorporation of heteroatoms into the new six-membered ring. Predict the products of each inverse-demand Diels-Alder reaction below.
