In an upcoming experiment, you will carry out the Diels Alder reaction of anthracene-9-methanol

and N-methylmaleimide. To simplify the modeling, examine the reaction of anthracene with

maleimide (shown above). The goal of this exercise is to examine the dramatic changes in

molecular structure and increases in molecular complexity that accompany the Diels Alder

reaction.

Question: Can the Diels Alder adduct 1 have endo and exo isomers? Why/why not?

The top portion is for context I hope. The question has me confused. Please help.

Expert Solution

I have given both the reactions as I was not sure which is adduct 1. And comparing both reactions makes it easy to understand.
