Dield-Alder Reaction is a type of Cycloaddition reactions. These reactions belongs to Pericyclic Reactions in which a cyclic Trasnsition State is formed during the reaction.
Diels-Alder reaction takes place between a Diene and a Dienophile. The Diene has a Electron Donating group and Dienophile has an Electron Withdrawing group attached to it. Below the reaction shows the reaction between Furan (Diene) and cyclohex-2-ene-1,4-dione (Dienophile).
