In this video, we introduce a new reaction:  the Diels Alder reaction. We talk about VERY simple Diels Alder reactions, and, before moving on to more involved examples (https://joechem.io/videos/24), we thoroughly discuss Electron Donating Groups (EDGs) and Electron Withdrawing Groups (EWGs). We need to talk about them because they can change how Diels Alder products form (altering how reactants connect, aka where the chemistry happens, aka regiochemistry, right?).
