Oh, the Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most versatile reactions! Too bad it is/was used for all those toxic pesticides! There are actually some pesticides called "Dieldrin" and "Aldrin."
Deneb, I'm curious. . . If you are taking just a basic Organic class, why are you studying the Diels-Alder reaction now? Is your course a second semester course that you're taking during the first semester? Usually, that reaction isn't studied until late in the second semester of an introductory Organic course.
