Diels–Alder reaction of a monosubstituted diene (such as CH2=CH– CH=CHOCH3) with a monosubstituted dienophile (such as CH2=CHCHO) gives a mixture of products, but the 1,2-disubstituted product often predominates. Draw the resonance hybrid for each reactant, and use the charge distribution of the hybrids to explain why the 1,2-disubstituted product is the major product.

True or False: Acetylene is a naturally occurring conjugated diene
True or False: The Diels-Alder reaction has the stereochemistry of the dienophile is retained in the product.
True or False: When looking at kinetic vs. thermodynamic products the kinetic product predominates at low temperature.
True or False: the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reaction is three π bonds break; one σ bond and two π bonds form.
