AI Thread Summary
The Diels-Alder reaction has a rich history, notably linked to Roald Hoffmann, who won the 1981 Nobel Prize for his contributions to understanding its symmetry through the Woodward-Hoffmann rules. This reaction is widely utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in creating complex cyclic structures. Applications span various fields, including pharmaceuticals and materials science. For a deeper exploration, the review article by Stocking and Williams discusses biosynthetic Diels-Alder reactions and their significance. Understanding both the historical context and modern applications enhances the appreciation of this vital chemical reaction.

Google it.

There are many sources of the information regarding the historical background and the current applications. Try searching "diels alder" and "Woodward-Hoffmann rules". Roald Hoffmann received the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in forumuating rules that govern the reaction symmetry of the Diels-Alder type.

Here is a review article that I found fascinating:

Stocking, Emily M.; Williams, Robert M., "Chemistry and Biology of Biosynthetic Diels-Alder Reactions", Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 3078-3115.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
