Interpretation:
The retro Diels–Alder mechanism and product for the given compound shown here is to be drawn. Which retro Diels–Alder reaction would require the lower temperature and why so is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The Diels–Alder reaction joins a conjugated diene and a dienophile (either an alkene or an alkyne) via the formation of two new σ bonds. The product is a six-membered ring of carbon atoms. The Diels–Alder reaction is concerted that is all bonds that are formed and broken do so simultaneously. It requires the cyclic movement of electrons, so it is classified as a pericyclic reaction. Under normal conditions, Diels–Alder reactions tend to be irreversible and proceed under kinetic control. At high temperatures, though, some can undergo the reverse reaction — This is called as a retro Diels–Alder reaction or

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results.
