Chapter 16, Problem 16.20P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The diene that reacts faster in the Diels-Alder reaction is to be stated with an explanation.

Concept introduction: Diene is a hydrocarbon that contains two C=C double bonds in a compound.

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 diene adds to the one side of the dienophile. Thus, they have syn or cis stereochemistry.

Diels–Alder reaction of a monosubstituted diene (such as CH2=CH–CH=CHOCH3) with a monosubstituted dienophile (such as CH2=CHCHO)gives a mixture of products, but the 1,2-disubstituted product oftenpredominates. Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant, and use thecharge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstitutedproduct is the major product.
True or False: Acetylene is a naturally occurring conjugated diene   True or False: The Diels-Alder reaction has the stereochemistry of the dienophile is retained in the product.     True or False: When looking at kinetic vs. thermodynamic products the kinetic product predominates at low temperature.   True or False: the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reaction is three π bonds break; one σ bond and two π bonds form.
2) Rank the following dienes in order of increasing rate of Diels-Alder reaction with maleic anhydride. You do not need to explain your ranking. H3C. H3CO Diene A Diene B Diene C
