Diels-Alder rxn for MCAT?

[Seraph 84]

Do you think we have to know the Diels-Alder rxn for the MCAT? I can't find it anywhere on AAMC's topic list for organic chemistry. I know it's an easy reaction, but I don't think everyone learns it in their undergrad class; I sure didn't.

Its like their favorite reaction I thought.

It's out of scope for the MCAT. Just focus on carbonyl and amine chemistry.
