Knowledge - Level 1
Terminology:
molecular orbitals, bonding/nonbonding/antibonding, HOMO, LUMO
conjugate addition, 1,2- vs 1,4-addition
kinetic control vs. thermodynamic control
cycloaddition
Diels-Alder reaction
s-cis and s-trans conformations
dienophile, exo vs. endo
identify conjugated pi systems, the number of pi MOs, and the number of pi electrons
explain the significance of kinetic or thermodynamic control of a reaction in terms of a reaction mechanism and an energy diagram
write MOs for a conjugated pi system, including the pattern of energy levels and electron populations
write conjugate addition products for conjugated pi systems
predict the products from a Diels-Alder reaction or starting materials for a given product
write reaction mechanisms for conjugate addition, including alternative pathways and predictions of preferred pathways
write electron-pushing arrows and/or MO interaction pictures to illustrate reaction mechanisms of cycloaddition reactions
use Diels-Alder or conjugate addition reactions as part of a synthetic sequence
