The Diels Alder reaction will appear in many different forms on your organic chemistry exams. My favorite is when you’re given a cyclic starting diene, or perhaps a bicyclic product and asked to find the starting diene and dienophile. In this video I show you how to tackle these problems using my trick from video 1.

Hey Leah, these Videos of yours are really helpful! But it would be great to have the rest of the Diels-Alder reaction Vds come out soon! Hoping to see them up there soon! Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback, unfortunately, I didn’t get to finish this series before the semester ended and we started on a new series.
Leah, these videos are AWESOME! Honestly, thank you so much. You were right about Diels Alder being easier once you get the hang of it.
Thank you! This is one of my favorite reactions. Glad you enjoyed the video
