- Mechanism The Diels-Alder reaction is part of a class of reactions known as a cycloaddition reaction. This reaction is specifically a [4+2] cycloaddition which is a concerted (one-step) process in which two new carbon - carbon sigma bonds are formed from two pi bonds. For the first Diels - Alder step of the mechanism fill in the arrows needed for the transformation. The rest of the mechanism is drawn for you.
