Concept explainers
Interpretation: The type of cycloaddition occurs in the given reaction [1] is to be predicted. The similar product in the reaction [2] is to be drawn and whether these reactions occur in thermal or photochemical conditions is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Cycloaddition reactions are pericyclic reactions that take place in two compounds containing pi bonds to form a cyclic compound. These reactions are concerted and stereospecific in nature. According to Woodward-Hoffmann rules, the polyene containing even number of bonds in thermal conditions undergoes reaction in antrafacial fashion and polyene containing odd number of bonds undergo reaction in suprafacial fashion. The total number of bonds present in the

- Fill in the missing reactant along with optically active or racemic name and what reaction it goes by E1, E2, SN1, OR SN2arrow_forwardA novel heterocyclic compound, M, contains nitrogen and sulfur atoms and exhibits interesting photochemical properties. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light at a specific wavelength, M undergoes a photoreaction resulting in two products: N and O. Product N is formed through a [2+2] cycloaddition involving the nitrogen atom in M, while product O results from a homolytic cleavage of a sulfur-sulfur bond in M. Given these reaction pathways, what is the most probable structure of M, and what are the likely structures of N and O? A. M is a thiazole derivative; N is a dimerized product through the nitrogen atoms, and O is a compound with two sulfur-centered radicals. B. M is a diazine derivative; N is a tetra-atomic cyclic compound, and O is a compound with two separate thiol groups. C. M is a thiadiazole derivative; N is a four-membered ring involving the nitrogen atom, and O results in two sulfur-centered radicals. D. M is a dithiolane derivative; N is a dimer involving the nitrogen…arrow_forwardComplete the following sequence of reactions by indicating the missing reagent(s).
