Diels-Alder Reaction Product Analysis

Very Hard Organic Chemistry Addition Reactions

In the context of organic chemistry, specifically focusing on addition reactions, consider a scenario where a conjugated diene undergoes a Diels-Alder reaction with a dienophile. The diene in question is 1,3-butadiene, and the dienophile is maleic anhydride. Analyze the structure of the product formed during this cycloaddition reaction, considering stereochemistry and the regioselectivity under standard conditions.

Given the reaction conditions and the inherent properties of the reactants, please determine which described product corresponds to the expected result of this Diels-Alder reaction.

A bicyclic compound with two fused cyclohexane rings and one anhydride functional group at the bridgehead carbon.

A bicyclic compound containing a six-membered ring with an anhydride substituent and two adjacent methyl groups.

A six-membered cyclic compound with an attached anhydride group and a double bond between two ring carbons.

A stereoisomer of cyclohexene with a maleic anhydride substituent at the 1-position.
