JEE Advanced levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 3 of 3hc202

Cyclohex-3-ene-1-carbaldehyde is best prepared by a Diels-Alder reaction between:

  1. AButa-1,3-diene and prop-2-enal
  2. BButa-1,3-diene and propanal
  3. C2-Methylbuta-1,3-diene and ethene
  4. DCyclohexene and methanal

Answer: A

Disconnecting the ring at the bonds next to the double bond (C3=C4) gives a 4-carbon diene and a 2-carbon dienophile bearing the group. These are buta-1,3-diene and . Propanal has no C=C, and isoprene would add a methyl group.
