- Compounds P and Q can undergo a Diels-Alder reaction to form two regioisomeric products R and S as shown in Figure 5. OMe O C8H12O2 R C8H12O2 S Figure 5 Draw the chemical structures of regioisomeric compounds R and S. Using possible resonance contributors of P and Q predict which of the two regioisomers will be favoured in the reaction. Using curly arrows, draw the mechanism for the reaction of P and Q to form the dominant regioisomer you have predicted in your answer to part (ii) above.arrow_forwardPredict the product(s) of the following Diels-Alder reaction. Include stereochemistry if appropriate.arrow_forwardCyclobutane reacts with bromine to give bromocyclobutane, but bicyclobutane reacts with bromine to give 1,3-dibromocyclobutane. Account for the differences between the reactions of these two compounds. heat + Br2 -Br + HBr Cyclobutane Bromocyclobutane heat Br2 Br Br Bicyclobutane 1,3-Dibromocyclobutanearrow_forward
- The product of this Diels Alder reaction would be called: H₂C O 1,3-cyclohexadiene O hexene O cyclohexene CH₂ O cyclohexane + CH₂ CH₂arrow_forwardChlordane, like DDT, is an alkyl halide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In 1983, it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in 1988, it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant?arrow_forwardDraw the TWO possible products of the Diels-Alder reaction shown below.arrow_forward

If an enantiomer is also made, indicate the enantiomer by adding “+ EN” beside the major product. Please explain step by step.arrow_forward4arrow_forward
- 7. At room temperature cyclopentadiene reacts with itself to form dicyclopentadiene in a Diels-Alder reaction. a) draw the self reaction of cyclopentadiene 20°C. b) When dicyclopentadiene is heated to boiling (170°C), the retor-Diels-Alder reaction occurs producing 2 moles of cyclopentadiene. Explain this observation in terms of free energy, enthalpy and entropy. c) If the AHxn = -75 kJ/mol and the ASpxn = -226 J/mol K, What temperature would be required for the reaction to be at equilibrium (Keq = 1).arrow_forward3arrow_forwardWhat is the major product from the following Diels-Alder reaction?
