Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A mechanism for the synthesis of dienone shown identifying the pericyclic reactions involved in the process.

Concept introduction:

Sigmatropic rearrangements involve the migration of a σ bond present at the end or in the middle of the system across the Ï€ electron system from one position to another. They are represented by [m,n] where m and n represents the number of atoms between the bond being broken and the bond being formed in two directions.

Dienones exist in equilibrium with their enol forms.
