QUESTION:
Rank the following dienophiles (from least reactive to most reactive) in terms of reactivity in a Diels- Alder reaction: O O O O
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
In this exercise, we're given a series of three dienophiles and we're asked to rank them (in order of least reactive to most reactive) in terms of their behavior in a Diels-Alder reaction. Recall that electron-withdrawing groups present on the dienophile increase its reactivity under Diels-Alder conditions.
