caption_attribution_description: English: Scheme containing steps to gibberellic acid carried out by E.J. Corey (1978), containing an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction (diene is blue, dienophile is red)
context_page_description: In organic chemistry, an intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition is a Diels–Alder reaction in which the diene and a dienophile are both part of the same molecule. The reaction leads to the formation of the same cyclohexene-like structure as usual for a Diels–Alder reaction, but as part of a more complex fused or bridged cyclic ring system.
