Question
In the reaction of a diene, can a s-trans conformation diene and a s-trans conformation dienophile react?
I am having some problems finding the answer to this on the net or in my textbook. I know that a s-trans diene cannot react with a s-cis dienophile. But I am not sure what would happen if both were s-trans?
