Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed by the thermal electrocyclic ring closure of given triene N is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. These reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The product formed by the photochemical electrocyclic ring closure of given triene N is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. These reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The given processes are to be labeled as conrotatory or disrotatory.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. These reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene. In Conratotory process, the orbitals where rearrangement is taking place rotates in clockwise direction and in disrotatory process the atomic orbitals rotates in opposite direction.
