Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The complete MO energy diagram for butadienyl dication [CH2-CH=CH-CH2]2+ similar to the one shown in Figure 14-12 is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

MOs arise from interacting AOs on different atoms. The number of MOs formed must equal the number of contributing AOs. MO energies differ as a result of constructive and destructive interference among contributing AOs. For a linear system of conjugated p orbitals, all nodal planes in a resulting π MO must be positioned symmetrically about the centre of that set of p orbitals. The energy of the MO with only bonding interactions is the lowest. As the number of antibonding interactions increases, so does the energy of the resulting MO. The MO with only antibonding interactions has the highest energy.

solve please
Please answer the question and provide a detailed drawing of the structure. If there will not be a new C – C bond, then the box under the drawing area will be checked.  Will the following reaction make a molecule with a new C – C bond as its major product:  Draw the major organic product or products, if the reaction will work. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry.
