Diels–Alder reaction
The Diels–Alder reaction is an organic chemical reaction (specifically, a [4+2] cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile, to form a substituted cyclohexene system. It was first described by Otto Paul Hermann Diels and Kurt Alder in 1928, for which work they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1950. The Diels–Alder reaction is particularly useful in synthetic organic chemistry as a reliable method for forming 6-membered systems with good control over regio- and stereochemical properties. The underlying concept has also been applied to other π-systems, such as carbonyls and imines, to furnish the corresponding heterocycles, known as the hetero-Diels–Alder reaction. Diels–Alder reactions can be reversible under certain conditions; the reverse reaction is known as the retro-Diels–Alder reaction.
Reaction mechanism
The reaction is an example of a concerted pericyclic reaction. It is believed to occur via a single, cyclic transition state, with no intermediates generated during the course of the reaction. As such, the Diels–Alder reaction is governed by orbital symmetry considerations: it is classified as a [4πS+2πS] cycloaddition, indicating that it proceeds through the suprafacial/suprafacial interaction of a 4π electron system (the diene structure) with a 2π electron system (the dienophile structure), an interaction that is thermally allowed as a 4n+2 cycloaddition.

by: DownfallI thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your touch
You're away, I'm here and my soul is withering
I thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your love
You're away, I'm here and my heart is withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I thought I could live without you
I thought I could be without your touch
You're away, I dwell here and my heart is withering
I thought I could live without your love, well oh no
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I thought I could live without your love...
I thought I could be without your touch
But now I'm withering
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
Someone tells me not to go on without you
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say without you
