Step by step solution

01

Arrangement of diene and dienophile

The diene and the triple bonded species are placed in the same manner as the diene and dienophile for the Diels-Alder reaction.

02

Triple bond in dienophile

The triple bond also behaves as the dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reaction. On undergoing the said reaction, the double bond is left after the cleavage of one bond of the dienophile

03

Diene and dienophile for the given products

a. The structures are re-drawn, and the bonds are cleaved in the represented manner to form a six-membered ring.
