(a)
Interpretation:
The given compound can be produced from two different Diels-Alder reactions. The reactants that would be required for each reaction are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The Diels-Alder reaction (also known as [4+2] cycloaddition) joins a conjugated diene and a dienophile (an
If the double bonds in the diene are either both trans or both cis, then the substituents at the ends of the diene become cis to each other with respect to the plane of the ring in the product. Electron-withdrawing groups must be a part of a dienophile while electron-donating groups must be a part of the diene to facilitate the cycloaddition. The stereochemical configuration in the dienophile is conserved throughout a Diels-Alder reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
Out of the two sets of reactants, which set would be a better choice is to be identified and exaplained.
Concept introduction:
The Diels-Alder reaction (also known as [4+2] cycloaddition) joins a conjugated diene and a dienophile (an alkene or an alkyne) via the formation of two new sigma bonds. The six membered ring of carbon atoms has formed as a product.
If the double bonds in the diene are either both trans or both cis, then the substituents at the ends of the diene become cis to each other with respect to the plane of the ring in the product. Electron-withdrawing groups must be a part of a dienophile while electron-donating groups must be a part of the diene to facilitate the cycloaddition. The stereochemical configuration in the dienophile is conserved throughout a Diels-Alder reaction.

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.
