Question

The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most useful in organic chemistry because it allows for the formation of rings: The reactor initially has only the diene and the dienophile. The product stream has 55 mole% of the ring and 17 mole% of diene. Calculate the fractional conversion of the limiting reactant and the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess. If we assume that we can do this reaction continuously, pick a basis for the feed and determine theextent of reaction.R = CH3.
