Question

What are diels alder reaction examples?

Answer 1

The Diels Alder reactionconverts a diene and an alkene (usually electron-poor, called a “dienophile”) into a six-membered ring containing an alkene (cyclohexene). Notes: X here is usually an electron withdrawing group such as a ketone, ester, or CN. Examples: Notes: Example 1 shows a simple Diels-Alder.

Answer 2

The Diels-Alder reaction is a concerted single step reaction that takes two molecules and creates a six-membered ring. In this reaction, three double bonds (pie bonds) are broken, two new single bonds (sigma bonds) are formed, and one new double bond (pie bond) is formed.
