Interpretation:
The reaction of thermally allowed cycloaddition of two butadiene molecules is to be shown and an explanation corresponding to the fact that it is thermally allowed is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Diels-alder reaction is a cycloaddition reaction in which two molecules combine to form a new ring. In this type of reaction, syn addition takes place. It is a reaction between diene with a dienophile to yield a cyclohexene. The dienophile adds to one side of the diene, and the diene adds to the one side of the dienophile. Thus, they have syn stereochemistry.
