Diels Alder Reaction Organic Chemistry Tutorial Videos, Guide and practice

Retrosynthesis

Step 6: Now that you have determined the substrates and mechanism of a Diels-Alder reaction, you will learn how to recognize when you should use the Diels-Alder reaction. In a synthesis reaction; if you are given a cyclohexene product with no other obvious functional group transformations and an electron-withdrawing group two carbons away from the alkene, it is likely made via the Diels-Alder reaction. Deduce the structures of the starting materials to form the Diels Alder adduct shown.Diene D
