Which of the following is an example of Diels-Alder reaction?
Last Updated:
This SSC CGL Chemistry question asks: “Which of the following is an example of Diels-Alder reaction?” The correct answer is 1-3 butadiene + ethylene. Diels-Alder reaction: diene (1-3 butadiene) + dienophile (ethylene) undergoes cycloaddition to form cyclohexene. Option A (“Benzene + HNO3”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question. Option C (“Propene + HBr”) is incorrect because it does not satisfy the chemical formula, reaction, periodic trend, numerical relation, oxidation state or definition required by the question.
