Following is an example of a type of reaction known as a Diels-Alder reaction (Chapter 24). 1 1,3- Pentadiene Ethylene 3-Methylcyclohexene (a racemic mixture) Diels-Alder reaction between a diene and an alkene is quite remarkable in that it is one of the few ways that chemists have to form two new carbon-carbon bonds in a single reaction. Given what you know about the relative strengths of carbon-carbon sigma and pi bonds, would you predict the Diels-Alder reaction to be exothermic or endothermic? Explain your reasoning
