Chapter 28.1, Problem 1P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given reaction has to be identified as electro cyclic reaction, a cycloaddition reaction or a sigma tropic reaction.

Concept introduction:

Pericyclic reactions are “ any concerted reaction in which bonds are formed or broken in a cyclic transition state”.  There is a single transition state from start to finish, in contrast to a stepwise reaction.

There are mainly three types of pericyclic reactions,

  1. 1) Electrocyclic reactions
  2. 2) Cycloaddition reactions
  3. 3) Sigmatropic reactions

In an electrocyclic reaction “one new sigma- bond is formed or broken.”

In a cycloaddition reaction “ two new sigma-bonds are formed or broken”

Organic Chemistry (8th Edition), Chapter 28.1, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  2

In a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction “ one new sigma-bond is formed as another breaks.”
