Show the electronic configuration of the ground state of hexa-1,3,5-triene.
Furan and maleimide undergo a Diels–Alder reaction at 25 °C to give the endo isomer of the product. When the reaction takes place at 90 °C, however, the major product is the exo isomer. Further study shows that the endo isomer of the product isomerizes to the exo isomer at 90 °C.
c. Examine your answer to (b) and determine whether this answer applies to a reaction that is kinetically controlled or one that is thermodynamically controlled, or both.
Show that the [6 + 2] cyclization of hexa-1,3,5-triene with maleic anhydride is thermally forbidden but photochemically allowed.
The pentadienyl radical, H2C=CH–CH=CH–CH2•, has its unpaired electron delocalized over three carbon atoms.
a. Use resonance forms to show which three carbon atoms bear the unpaired electron.
Show the Diels–Alder product that would actually result from heating hexa-1,3,5-triene with maleic anhydride.
