Rotated 3-d model from the Diels Alder transition state between 1,3-butadiene (CH2=CH-CH=CH2) and propenal (CH2=CH=CH-CH=O). The movement corresponds to the imaginary frequency, which corresponds to the movement of atoms at the transition state to form the product. Double bonds are highlighted yellow.
