Interpretation:
The manner of ring closure-conrotatory or disrotatory- for both thermal and photochemical cyclization of (2E,4Z,6Z,8Z)-2,4,6,8-decatetraene indicating the stereochemistry of the product is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An electrocyclic reaction involves the cyclization of a conjugated acyclic system. These reactions are reversible and are highly stereospecific.
In elecrocyclic reactions involving even number of electron pairs, a thermal reaction occurs in conrotatory manner and a photochemical reaction occurs in disrotatory manner.
In elecrocyclic reactions involving odd number of electron pairs, a thermal reaction occurs in disrotatory manner and a photochemical reaction occurs in conrotatory manner.
To predict:
The manner of ring closure-conrotatory or disrotatory- for both thermal and photochemical cyclization of (2E,4Z,6Z,8Z)-2,4,6,8-decatetraene.
To state:
The stereochemistry of the product.

- In light of your answer to Problem 30-40, explain why a mixture of products occurs in the following reaction:arrow_forwardOn the lines drawn below, provide the systematic (IUPAC) names for the following structures. Be sure to include stereochemistry (R/S, cis-trans, or E/Z) when appropriate. Show work for full credit.arrow_forwardWhen Br2 is added to buta-1,3-diene at -15 °C, the product mixture contains 60% ofproduct A and 40% of product B. When the same reaction takes place at 60 °C, theproduct ratio is 10% A and 90% B.If you had a solution of pure A, and its temperature were raised to 60 °C, what wouldyou expect to happen?
