1) Predict which of the following isomers will react with a dienophile (any dienophile) the fastest. Which one will react the slowest? Explain your reasoning.

b) What atoms would you add to the slowest reacting molecule to make it react faster with a dienophile?

2) Show all products of the reaction between the middle diene and H-Br. Identify the kinetic and thermodynamic products. Also, identify all stereochemical relationships between products (ie. are they enantiomers, diastereomers or neither).
