strongly affected by the identity of the diene component. The strain imposed by cyclic dienes in the Diels-Alder products correlates with the rates of decomposition. For instance, the strained adducts formed by cyclopentadiene decompose more quickly at lower temperatures than the less-strained adducts formed by cyclohexadiene.
