Predict the product of the following Diels–Alder reactions. Where a racemic mixture is produced, show both enantiomers and explain how each is formed.
(d)
Assuming the diene approaches the dienophile from the top, predict the product of the following Diels–Alder reactions.
(c)
What stereochemical result would you expect if the Diels–Alder reaction with the free α,β- unsaturated ketone was faster than reaction with the iminium-bound alkene?
Give the diene and dienophile that could be used to make the following Diels–Alder products.
(d)
Figure 22.16(a) <IMAGE> shows a unique example where the Diels–Alder reaction gives a single product (no enantiomers) regardless of whether the diene attacks the dienophile from the top or bottom.
(a) Show the product of the diene attacking from the bottom and confirm that the same product is obtained.
(b) What is special about this product that makes this true?
Give the diene and dienophile that could be used to make the following Diels–Alder products.
(c)
