Question

Which is the wrong statement in the Diels-Alder reaction (A) with (B) ?

• A. The product (C) is endo stereoisomer, formed in major amount at low temperature, and is kinectically controlled product.
• B. The product (D) is endo stereoisomer, formed in major amount at high temperature, and is a thermodynamically controlled product
• C. Diels-Alder reaction is a reversible reaction
• D. Diels_Alder reaction is highly sterreospecific with syn-addition, and the configuration of dienophilic is retained.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A The product (C) is endo stereoisomer, formed in major amount at low temperature, and is kinectically controlled product.
B The product (D) is endo stereoisomer, formed in major amount at high temperature, and is a thermodynamically controlled product

The product (C) is endo stereoisomer, formed in major amount at low temperature, and is kinectically controlled product.

The product (D) is endo stereoisomer, formed in major amount at high temperature, and is a thermodynamically controlled product

Hence options A & B are correct.
