The authors of ref 14 concluded that the computed barrier heights of the Diels-Alder reaction between butadiene and ethylene at the B3LYP/6-31G* level (24.8 kcal/mol) and at the QCISD(T)/6-31G*//CASSCF/6-31G* level (29.1 kcal/mol) are in excellent agreement with an experimental value (27.5 ± 2 kcal/mol).
