Student Instructions: The reaction shown below is an example of the Diels Alder family of reactions where an alkene reacts with a conjugated diene to generate a substituted cyclohexene. The alkene is also called dienophile (diene seeker). Next: - Draw a one step mechanism and indicate the electron moving arrows. - Trace to the product the number of the carbon on the reactants. - How many \( \sigma \) bonds are formed? - How many \( \pi \) bonds disappear and how many new bonds are formed.
Download the image of Reaction Coordinate Diagram provided with this assignment. Open a power point file and paste the diagram. Add text to indicate: - Names of \( X \) and \( Y \) coordinates - Reactants and products - Transition States and intermediary - Activation energy - Change in free energy Copy and paste the upgraded figure in a word document and answer the following questions: 1. Is the reaction exergonic or endergonic? 2. How many steps has the mechanism of this reaction? 3. Which is the slowest step? 4. How many intermediaries are formed? 5. How many transition states are present? After finishing, print the word document as a pdf and upload within the assignment.
