Diels-Alder reaction that yields two products that are constitutional isomers?
« on: May 04, 2016, 09:25:19 PM »
Hi, I am on my last try for this homework question so I'm coming here for some help.
The reaction is trans-2-methyl-1,3-pentadiene + propene. I believe that one of the products is 1,3,4-Trimethylcyclohexene (if I am wrong on this let me know), but I can't seem to get the other one correct. Any help is appreciated.

Is 1,3,4-trimethylcyclohexene really a Diels-Alder product?

Can you draw out your mechanism? How else can these react?
