Q. Diels-Alder reaction will not take place with which of the following reactants?

EAMCETEAMCET 2010

Solution:

In Diels-Alder reaction, conjugated dienes react with enes or olefinic compounds and give cycloalkenes.
Since,image (buta-1,4-diene) is not a conjugated alkene, it will not take part in Diels-Alder's reaction.
