Answer to Problem 27.8P
The product formed in the given photochemical electrocyclic ring closure reaction is
Explanation of Solution
The thermal electrocyclic ring closure reaction is shown below.
Figure 1
Electrocyclic reactions involve the conversion of
Under photochemical condition, conrotatory process takes place in the given reaction. The orientation of substituents and stereochemistry around tetrahedral stereogenic centers and double bonds in the given reaction are shown below.
Figure 2
The conrotatory process involves the rotation of two orbitals in the same direction. The reaction in above figure implies that orbitals move in the same direction in the reactant molecule and the formation of trans product occurs. One methyl group is present above the plane and one methyl group is present below the plane in the product. Therefore, the product formed in the given photochemical electrocyclic ring closure reaction is
