8.

What is the product of the following reaction?

9. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 10.

The Diels-Alder reaction is a concerted reaction; this means: A mixture of endo and exo products are formed. All bond making and bond breaking occurs simultaneously. The products contain rings. The reaction follows Markovnikovs rule. The reaction is highly endothermic. The active electrophile in the nitration of benzene is: HNO3 1 H+ 2
