Expert Solution
Step 1

A pericyclic reaction takes place via a concerted mechanism in which the old bond breaking and a new bond formation occur at the same time.

These reactions don't form any intermediate instead, they proceed via a transition state.

The pericyclic reactions take place mostly in conjugated polyene systems and no special reagents are needed to carry out these reactions.

We mainly need two conditions to undergo these reactions:

  • Thermal condition: heat is provided.
  • Photochemical condition: light is provided designated by hν.

The stereochemistry of the reactions is mainly decided by the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.
