Diels-Alder adduct

A Diels-Alder adduct is a chemical compound formed when two specific molecules—called a diene and a dienophile—combine through a reaction known as the Diels-Alder reaction. This process creates a new, stable ring-shaped structure in the molecule, which is useful in organic chemistry for synthesizing complex compounds. Think of it as a precise way that particular molecules "click together" to build larger, more complex molecules efficiently, often used in making pharmaceuticals, plastics, and other important materials.
