Diels Alder Reaction

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the diels alder reaction which is a 4 + 2 cycloaddition reaction. it discusses the reactivity of the diene and dienophile with the use of electron donating groups and electron withdrawing groups. It discusses the formation of bicyclic compounds using the diels alder reaction as well as the stereochemistry of the products. The endo product is usually the major product of this reaction compared to the exo product. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

Diene? More like dying, for more of this high-quality content! Thanks so much for making *so much* of it and then sharing.

[salonichristian]

If I could, I'd pay my tuition fees to you, cause youre the real prof!!!

[laplaceduh]

By now, I've come to expect brilliance from you, but I still can't help being baffled by how good you are at simplifying these topics.

How does anyone go about making 2, 491 videos from two minutes to an hour in length? It's amazing.

[margaretkakompe]

You were literally my chemistry lecture😩🙏thank you so much..from Africa(Zambia)

[abigailsullens]

I've skipped class this whole semester and only watched your videos. Thanks for being the professor that my professor couldn't be:)

[Joel_]

Honestly thank you so much for these videos they make these concepts so much easier to understand, you're the ochem goat

[phsriram]

Youre the lifesaver for me for 3 years

[Sijo]

Your amazing!!! Every video watch, you make chemistry so easy to under stand. Thank you

[Simran-jdwi]

Thank you bud ❤
my guy knows literally everything and he deserves the best in this world 🎉

[Sagzor]

can you bring a video about how to find relative molecular mass

[hanon]

9:11 "Now don't forget tho, we still need to put a double bond.." Me: (Looking down at my paper) I did forget tho :/

[susonly]

was having a hard time getting the mechanism, thanks for the trick

[jenuineamazing]

Are you a professor? You should be a professor, your amazing!

[shashaaka]

Thanks for this video! You save my life😭😭

9:39 why is the endo product the major product? This seems counterintuitive. Would there not be more strain when the CHO group is next to the longer bridge?

[dominicknguyen]

cry in happiness! Yes endo rule over the the exo. Point it down!

[theresa.gerges]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! UR REALLY A LIFE SAVER!

Im curious to know, will the endo products always be the major products? I would figure the -COOH would be more stable in an equatorial position rather than an axial position due to the energy penalties. Or am I seeing it wrong?

[nikhar]

Is the endo product major due to steric hindrance?
