Allene, has a heat of hydrogenation of
. Rank a conjugated diene, a nonconjugated diene, and an
allene in order of stability.
Why do you suppose 1,4 adducts of 1,3-butadiene are generally more stable than 1,2 adducts?
Predict the product of the following Diels鈥揂lder reaction:

1,3-Cyclopentadiene polymerizes slowly at room temperature to yield
a polymer that has no double bonds except on the ends. On heating, the
polymer breaks down to regenerate 1,3-cyclopentadiene. Propose a structure for the product.
Dimethyl butynedioate also undergoes a Diel-Alder reaction with (2E, 4Z)-2,4-hexadiene, but the stereochemistry of the product is different from that of the (2E,4E) isomer (Problem 14-62). Explain.
