Question
Chapter 11, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given cycloaddition reactions are allowed or forbidden according to the Woodward-Hoffmann rules is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The orbitals directly involved in bond formation are called frontier orbitals. They are the HOMO of one reactant and LUMO of the other reactant.
Electron withdrawing groups attached to the dienophile increase its reactivity. Electrons flow from the diene to the dienophile.
In-phase overlap is necessary for the formation of a sigma bond. Such an overlap is termed as symmetry allowed, according to the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.
If the HOMO-LUMO lack symmetry and experience and antibonding interaction, then such an overlap is symmetry forbidden.

Which of the statement is INCORRECT?
a. The increase in stability of 2,4-hexadiene over 1,3-hexadiene is due to the increased double bond substitution of the former.
b. The stabilization of dienes by conjugation is less pronounced than the aromatic stabilization of benzene.
c. Resonance description in alkenes usually involves charge separation.
d. Higher energy pi-orbitals often have decreasing number of nodes.
Show that the [4 + 4] cycloaddition of two butadiene molecules to give cycloocta1,5-diene is thermally forbidden but photochemically allowed
Estimate the stabilization gained as a result of conjugation when 1,4-pentadiene is converted to trans-1,3-pentadiene. Note that the answer is not as simple as comparing the heats of hydrogenation of 1,4-pentadiene and trans-1,3pentadiene. Although the double bonds are moved from unconjugated to conjugated, the degree of substitution of one of the double bonds is also changed, in this case, from a monosubstituted double bond to a trans disubstituted double bond. To answer this question, you must separate the effect that is the result of conjugation from that caused by a change in the degree of substitution.
