12

DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS

13

Reactivity of the dienophile is increased if 1 or more electron-withdrawing groups are present

14

Partial positive charge

Stereochemistry

Racemic mixture

15

In order to participate in a Diels-Alder reaction, the diene must be in an s-cis conformation

C1 & C4 are too far apart to react with the dienophile
