Practice Problems
Stability of Dienes
Know the 3 types of
dienes.
1). Listen to the first 20 minutes of lecture
# 23 dated 11/2.
Page 298, #14
Notes
_______
Problems _______
Explain the stability of
the diene with homo
and lumo.
2) Read pages 290 -292 and section 7.8

page 309 #25 b, 28 b.
Notes ________
Problems_______
Starting Chapter 7 (the
book is not very helpful
with this chapter)
Stability of Carbocation
– Allylic and Benzylic
Be able to predict the
products of addition
to a diene. (1,2 or 1,4)
1). Listen to the remainder of lecture #23.
Determine the kinetic
product and the
thermodynamic
product.
*This lesson is difficult to access but I
finally got it to play through. Once it
begins forward through the entire lesson
then back to the starting place.
Page 314, #31. This is the type
of problem that will be on the
quiz and test. Try them and
then look at the answer.
1). Listen to the first 28.5 minutes of
lecture #24 dated 11/4
MSU: Addition to conjugated
dienes
1). Listen to the final 19.5 minutes of
lecture #24 dated 11/4.

Reactions
Diels-Alder Reaction
Be able to predict the
products in a DielsAlder reaction,
including the
regioselectivity and
stereochemistry.

Stereochemistry
2) Read Section 7.12
1). Listen to the first 17:20 minutes of
lecture #25 dated 11/9.

Question #1
Question #2
Chem 2061/2062 explains this
lesson as well. Podcast 105
(12:30) from Andy Aspass.
You will need the worksheet
for practice problems.
Notes
_______
Problems _______
If you are having difficulties
visualizing this reaction then
try the Diels-Alder podcast 106
from Andy Aspaas. He
numbers the carbons and that
helps.
