Workshop #7
- Use the structure of the Diels-Alder adduct to deduce the structure of product X
in the reaction sequence below. Give a mechanism for the formation of X.

- Propose a mechanism for the following reaction.

You are to synthesize THREE of the
following target compounds shown below starting from benzene, acetylene, methanol,
ethanol, potassium t-butoxide, maleic anhydride, acetic anhydride, ethylene oxide, acetyl
chloride, and cyclohexene as your only sources of carbon. For those that you do not
finish, practice them on your own and try to come up with answers.
