- The first step in a synthesis of dodecahedrane involves a Diels-Alder reaction between the cyclopentadiene derivative (1) and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (2). Show how these two molecules react to form the dodecahedrane synthetic intermediate (3). + CH,0OCC=CCOOCH, COOCH ČOOCH3 Cyclopentadienyl- cyclopentadiene (1) Dimethyl acetylene- dicarboxylate (2) (3)arrow_forwardWhen anthracene is added to the reaction of chlorobenzene with concentrated NaOH at 350 °C, an interesting Diels–Alderadduct of formula C20H14 results. The proton NMR spectrum of the product shows a singlet of area 2 around d 3 and abroad singlet of area 12 around d 7. Propose a structure for the product, and explain why one of the aromatic rings ofanthracene reacted as a dienearrow_forwardUemura and coworkers studied a time dependent Diels-Alder reaction which first formed the endo product as the major organic product and with time produced the exo product (J. Org. Chem. 2018, 83, 9300−9304). Show the endo and exo product for the reaction below. Which is the thermodynamic product and which is the kinetic product? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- (3) HI does not undergo free radical addition with 1-butene, even in the presence of a peroxide. Please provide an explanation by analyzing the propagation steps if the same radical reaction occurred with HI. Besides the bond dissociation enthalpies in the appendix, the following approximate bond dissociate enthalpies might be useful to you: ~310 kJ/mol The component of C=C CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂-Br CH3CH₂CH₂CH2-I -290 kJ/mol (C-Br bond) ~235 kJ/mol (C-I bond)arrow_forwardAzulene, an isomer of naphthalene, has a remarkably large dipole moment for a hydrocarbon (µ = 1.0 D). Explain using resonance structures.arrow_forwardOne step in the synthesis of dodecahedrane involves reaction of the tetraene C with dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate (D) to afford two compounds having molecular formula C16H16O4. This reaction has been called a domino Diels–Alder reaction. Identify the two products formed.arrow_forward
