Interpretation:
For the given reaction, the reverse Diels-Alder reaction path has to be shown with Lewis structures of Butadiene sulfone and sulfuric acid.
Concept Introduction:
Diels-Alder reaction:
It is the reaction of conjugated dienes with double or triple bonded compounds which are known as “dienophiles”. The reaction is a
Example:
Reverse Diels-Alder reaction:
It is the reverse path of the Diels-Alder reaction in which the Diels-Alder adduct gives back its corresponding Diene and Dienophile as shown here:
Lewis dot structure: In the Lewis dot structure, an element will be represented by its elemental symbol. It will be surrounded by dots. Each dot represents the valence electron of that element. So the Lewis dot structure enables to represent an element with its valence electrons in

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
