- Devise a stepwise synthesis of each compound from dicyclopentadiene using a Diels–Alder reaction as one step. You may also use organic compounds having ≤ 4 C's, and any required organic or inorganic reagents.arrow_forwardThe diene shown below will NOT react in a Diels-Alder reaction. Why not? Select one: O A. The compound is lacking in electron donating groups. B. The compound is not a conjugated diene. OC. The compound is lacking in electron withdrawing groups. OD. This compound cannot adopt the s-cis conformation.arrow_forwardExplain, with reference to the mechanism, why addition of one equivalent of HCl to diene A forms only two products of electrophilic addition, even though four constitutional isomers are possible.arrow_forward
- Label each diene as reactive or unreactive in a Diels–Alder reaction.arrow_forwardThe diene shown below will NOT react in a Diels-Alder reaction. Why not? Select one: A. The compound is not a conjugated diene. B. The compound is lacking in electron withdrawing groups. O C. This compound cannot adopt the s-cis conformation. D. The compound is lacking in electron donating groups.arrow_forwardThe diene shown below will NOT react in a Diels-Alder reaction. Why not? Select one: OA. The compound is lacking in electron withdrawing groups. B. The compound is not a conjugated diene. O C. The compound is lacking in electron donating groups. OD. This compound cannot adopt the s-cis conformation.arrow_forward
