This document discusses alkadienes and their reactions. It covers the structure of alkadienes, their stability, and common reaction schemes like addition and Diels-Alder reactions. Specifically, it examines the regioselectivity of addition reactions on conjugated alkadienes and how kinetic vs. thermodynamic control affects 1,2 and 1,4 additions. It also explores the regioselectivity, endo vs. exo product formation, and stereospecificity of Diels-Alder reactions involving alkadienes.
