Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structures of Q and R are to be drawn. The stereochemistry of the process by which given reaction occurs is to be indicated.

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.
