Hi everybody
I would like to gain insight about Diels–Alder reactions. which compound among these are more suitable for Diels–Alder reactions?
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylen and 1,4-Dichloro-2-butyne and cis-1,4-Dichloro-2-butene

thank you in advance

What two kinds of unsaturated compounds are used in a Diels Alder reaction, and what properties do they need to have?
-
I need a strong electrophile compound containing halogen. What are your suggestions?
-
The dienophile should have one or more electron withdrawing groups, but they don't have to halogens.

The halogens may be welcome in a subsequent step, though. Chlorides are also cheap and mass available.
