Devise a stepwise synthesis of the following compound from dicyclopentadiene using a Diels-Alder reaction as one step.You may also use organic compounds having ≤ 4 C's, and any required organic or inorganic reagents.

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

You are not putting the compound, but I'm gonna use an example for you to understand and then, apply it to your own exercise. The basic is the same.

Dicyclopentadiene, is basically a cyclopentadiene with two double bonds. Now, to form the product of the example in the picture, we part from the cyclopentadiene and then do the reaction. The general mechanism for the diels alder reaction is the same for almost any compound, but you will always need a dienophyle (compound with at least one double bond) and a diene (two double bonds). Then in the final step we use H2 in Pd to to a hydrogenation reaction and eliminate the double bond. so see the picture for explanation of mechanism:
