    My O-chem book butchered and overcomplicated it's explanation of endo and exo. THANK YOU for knowing exactly how to explain it. I want to find whoever made my book and fight them. 2 pages! TWO FULL PAGES to explain endo and exo. Listen to this "In the Endo approach, the dienophile aligns with its electron withdrawing group substituent underneath the pi system or directly above it. When it reacts such that the pi electron orbitals of its electron withdrawing group align under (or above) the pi orbitals of the diene, the orientation of approach is called endo." and it carries on like this

    it should be known that the first two reactions shown would not actually work, unless under extreme conditions due to the diene and dienophile both having high electron density. An electron withdrawing group should be attached to on or the other.

    also at the end of the video there were no electron withdrawing groups and this topic was not discussed even though it is extremely important to the reaction. The interaction between the forming pi bonds and the electron withdrawing group on the othe molecule is the reason that most reactions do proceed in an endo approach and is known as the endo rule. a great example of this is the reaction between anthracene and diethyl fumarate were these pi bond, EWG interactions actually determine regiospecificity of the product.

    Oh I see, hmm, I don't recall actually! Maybe phases are changing in the transition state or something, as electrons from the HOMO of the diene go to the LUMO of the dienophile, maybe that changes the number of nodes or something and those two p orbitals become in phase. Haha honestly I don't remember at all!
