Definitions:

Diels-Alder

A chemical reaction between a diene and a dienophile, resulting in the formation of a cyclohexene derivative.

Diene

An organic compound containing two double bonds, often involved in polymerization and other chemical reactions.

Dienophile

A chemical compound with an electron-deficient double or triple bond that readily reacts with a diene in a Diels-Alder reaction to form cyclohexene derivatives.

HOMO

Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital; the electron orbital with the highest energy level that is occupied by electrons in a molecule under ground state conditions.
