Diels-Alder Reaction (Butadiene + Ethylene)

C₄H₆ + C₂H₄ → C₆H₁₀

ภาพรวม

A conjugated diene (1,3-butadiene) reacts with a dienophile (ethylene) in a [4+2] cycloaddition to form cyclohexene. This pericyclic reaction proceeds through a concerted mechanism with no intermediates, forming two new carbon-carbon bonds and a six-membered ring simultaneously.
