This is the second week of the semester and I am currently doing my best to grasp material. However, we haven't dealt with complex dielsadler reactions. We solved simple diene + dienophile rxns... for my lab that's due tomorrow, I have to do these questions.

I was not able to answer 2 B or C. Any suggestions how to figure this out? the ring is what begins to confuse me

For B, simplify the structure of the diene for now, draw the product of the simplified reaction, then add the other parts of the compound to the product. Upload it to this thread and I (we) can get you moving. You need to show an attempt as per the forum rules.

For C, look up bridged compounds. If you have access to Clayden it is on pages 905 - 924
