Chapter 16, Problem 16.55P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To derive the structure of the given product formed from A and to explain why only one product is formed.

Concept introduction:

In Diels-Alder reaction, a 1, 3-diene and an alkene called a dienophile, to form a new six-membered ring. Three curved arrows are needed to show the cyclic movement of electron pairs because three pi bonds break and two sigma bonds and one pi bond form.
