- Draw the major products obtained from the reaction of one equivalent of HBr with the following compounds. For each reaction, indicate the kinetic product and the thermodynamic productarrow_forwardHow could the following compounds be synthesized using a Diels–Alder reaction?arrow_forwardDevise 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_forward
- Consider the four trienes E–H.a.Rank compounds E–H in order of increasing heat of hydrogenation. b.Which compound is most reactive in the Diels–Alder reaction? c. Which compound(s) are unreactive in the Diels–Alder reaction? d.Which compound absorbs the longest wavelength of ultraviolet light?arrow_forwardSelect the conjugated diene which cannot undergo the Diels-Alder reaction.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_forward
- What diene and dienophile are needed to prepare each compound by a Diels–Alder reaction?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_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_forward
- Why a conjugated diene is more stable than an isolated diene ?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_forwardThere is TWO Blanks, what should I put in them?arrow_forward
