(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given synthesis is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The Diels-Alder reaction is a
Diels–Alder reactions are stereospecific: the stereochemistry of the product is identified by the stereochemistry of the reactant. The Diels-Alder reaction is a significant and commonly used technique for making six-membered rings. The reactant as conjugated diene and a double or triple bond termed the dienophile. This is cycloaddition reaction therefore the dienophile has two and the diene has four pi-electrons that shift position in the reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given synthesis is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The Diels-Alder reaction is a chemical reaction between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed dienophile, to form a substituted cyclohexane derivative.
