Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The differences in the products obtained under photochemical and thermal condition should be accounted for the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
Pericyclic reactions are “ any concerted reaction in which bonds are formed or brocken 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) Electrocyclic reactions
- 2) Cycloaddition reactions
- 3) Sigmatropic reactions
In a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction “ one new sigma-bond is formed as another breaks.”
Sigmatropic rearrangement reactions are designated with digits. For example a [1, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement describe a reaction in which the residue migrates from position 1 to position 3.
Woodward – Hoffmann rules for sigmatropic rearrangement reactions are listed below
