te whether each statement regarding the Diels-Alder reaction is TRUE or FALSE. (5 pts) The stereochemistry of the dienophile is inverted in the product. a. False b. it's a type of pericyclic reaction, it can also be classified as a [1+2] cycloaddition reaction. rue c. The reaction often favors the endo product (the kinetic product) due to secondary orbital overlap between the diene and dienophile in the transition state. Yue d. It requires an in-phase interaction between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the HOMO)ofthe diene with the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the dienophile It's typically an exothermic reaction because three Ï-bonds are converted into two new Ï-bonds and one new Ï-bond. noedular orbita t's ypically he lowestuno cupied e e. e,
