a) The following two cyclobutenes 4 and 5 can be opened to form diene structures thermally, however one reacts much slower than the other. Which of 4 or 5 reacts faster and which slower, and why? Use suitable diagrams to illustrate your answer. 4 5 b) HARD: Both 4 and 5 can also react photochemically to give one monocyclic product each, isomeric with the starting materials. Draw the structures of the products and rationalize their formation. (HINT: Electrocyclization reactions are NOT involved in the formation of the monocyclic products.)
