How would the following substituents affect the rate of a Diels–Alder reaction?

b. an electron-donating substituent in the dienophile

Careful. The stereochemistry of the dienophile is conserved.

This molecule is not meso. There is no plane of symmetry.

Careful, these are not enantiomers. What happens if you flip one of the molecules like a pancake?


Dienophile stereochemistry:

Because the Diels–Alder reaction is concerted, the relative stereochemistry of the dienophile is conserved. Groups on the same side of the dienophile will be on the same side in the product.


Predict the major, organic product for the following reaction.

<img src="https://media.pearsoncmg.com/ph/esm/ecs_mullins_organic1e/msa/content/practice-test/img/Ch22_Q03_QT.jpg" alt="The figure illustrates a reaction in which the product has to be determined. The reaction contains two reactants. The first reactant has the following structure: A 2-carbon alkane chain is depicted as a line structure using 1 line. C 1 is single bonded to C H 3 on the upper left in the form of a line. C 1 is double bonded to C H 2 on the upper right in the form of two parallel lines. C 2 is single bonded to C H 3 on the lower left in the form of a line. C 2 is double bonded to C H 2 on the lower right in the form of two parallel lines.
The second reactant has the following structure: A 2-carbon alkene chain is depicted as a line structure using 2 parallel lines. C 1 is single bonded to C N on the upper right. C 2 is single bonded to C N on the lower right. Delta is written under the reaction arrow." />

Alkene carbons are sp2 hybridized and cannot have wedged or dashed bonds.

Careful. This molecule is not meso. There is no plane of symmetry.


Diene stereochemistry:

In the traditional orientation of the diene approaching the dienophile from the top, inner substituents on the diene are on the top face of the product cyclohexene, and outer substituents are on the bottom face.

Congrats guys, we're almost to the end. But before we finish let's talk cumulatively about thermal and photochemical electrocyclic reactions.&nbsp;

Diels-Alder Forming Bridged Products

What happens when we add some&#160;complexity to our s-cis-1,3-diene? We can form a bridged diels-alder product. It&#39;s a lot easier than it sounds, I promise! Let&#39;s take a look.&#160;

Cope Rearrangement

Ready to learn a specific type of sigmatropic shift? The cope rearrangement can be differentiated from other pericyclic reactions due to its lack of conjugation.&#160;

Sigmatropic Rearrangement

Here we will discuss an intramolecular pericyclic reaction in which 0 pi bonds are destroyed after a cyclic mechanism.&nbsp;

Claisen Rearrangement

Like the Cope rearrangment, Claisen can be differentiated from other pericyclic reactions due to its&#160;lack of conjugation as well. So how will we distinguish the two? Well, unlike Cope which uses only hydrocarbons, the Claisen Rearrangement utilizes a very specific functional group. Let&#39;s take a look.&#160;
