Question

Please explain steps

The compound below can be produced through two different Diels-Alder reactions.
CO₂H
CO₂H
a. Draw the reactants that can be used in each of the two different Diels-Alder reactions.
b. Which route is better? Explain why in complete sentences.
Diels-Alder reactions are not limited to dienes and dienophiles with only carbon atoms like we have seen in
lecture. Other atoms (heteroatoms) can be included in the system of the diene and/or the dienophile. The
following are examples of hetero Diels-Alder reactions. Draw the mechanism and predict the product of both
reactions, paying particular attention to stereochemistry.
