Q. The number of following diene(s) that undergo Diels-Alder reaction with methyl acrylate is
Ans: The number of following diene(s) that undergo Diels-Alder reaction with methyl acrylate is 5
Solution:
Diels- Alder Reaction is a pericyclic chemical reaction between substituted alkenes or Dienophiles and conjugated dienes. Here, all the cis structures will undergo Diels- Alder Reaction with methyl acrylate. While trans structures will not show. In series 3 and 5 structure is trans in nature, thus 5 is the answer.
