Intramolecular

Editing the Wikipedia today. Added a diagram for the page titled, Intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Go check out the page and start editing! It's a bit difficult thinking of things to write that's specific for the intramolecular reaction, but a picture was missing and so I filled the gap.

Going through the guidelines on drawing chemical structures for Wikipedia (see here), I used ACS format, changed a "Me" to "CH₃", included the stereochemistry and used ChemDraw (13.0). Maybe I need to take out the English, to make it "language neutral". Not even sure if I need things like reaction conditions and yield.

As SOON as publishable

What looks like a hand-drawn Figure 1. in this Journal of Organic Chemistry article. I can't spot any particular reason why it might be hand-drawn (as in, something clever which relates to the article itself). Any ideas? Also, that left-pointing retrosynthesis arrow seems inelegant to me. What's wrong with a standard reaction arrow?
