2.maleic anhydride is an exceptionally reactive dienophile. Why?

Accepted Answer

Maleic anhydride is a very reactive dienophile due to its electron-deficient nature. The carbonyl groups in the anhydride ring pull electron density away from the double bond, making it highly electrophilic and susceptible to attack by electron-rich dienes in Diels-Alder reactions.
