Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure for the exo product formed by the reaction of cyclopentadiene with maleic anhydride should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The reaction between a diene (4π electron system) and a dienophile (2π electron system) to give a substituted cyclohexane derivative is termed as Diels Alder reaction. This reaction is a cycloaddition reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Cyclopentadiene is a 4π electron system thus, it will be the diene. On the other hand, maleic anhydride is a 2π electron system thus, it will act as a dienophile. Therefore, the product formation for the reaction between cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride should be represented as follows:
