Interpretation:
The product of the reaction for given two reactants should be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In a sigmatropic reaction “ one new sigma-bond is formed as another breaks.”
Sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are designated with digits. For example a [1, 3] sigma tropic rearrangement describe a reaction in which the residue migrates from position 1 to position 3.
Woodward –Hoffmann rules are the set of rules used to vindicate or predict certain aspects of the stereo chemical outcome and activation energy of pericyclic reactions.
Woodward – Hoffmann rules for sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are listed below
Migration of carbon and hydrogen will occur in a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction. Migration of hydrogen in suprafacial and antarafacial rearrangement can be represented as follows,
Carbon migrating with one lobe of its p orbital interacting
Carbon migrating with both lobe of its p orbital interacting
