Retro Diels-Alder:
In a Diels-Alder reaction mechanism, a six-membered ring is formed. The ring is formed via movement of electrons that result in formation of two new sigma bonds and a pi-bond and breaking of two pi-bonds. In a retro Diels-Alder mechanism, the direction of the movement of electrons is reversed to generate the starting diene and dienophile.
