(a)
Interpretation:
For the given each of the electrocyclic reactions, the product formed should be determined.
Concept introduction:
- Electrocyclic reaction is a concerted cyclization reaction of conjugated polyenes (π-system), in which one π-bond is converted into an σ-bond and remaining π-bonds shift their positions. Thereby the newly formed σ-bond connects the two ends of π-system to form a ring.
- The mechanism of the ring formation in the Electrocyclic reaction is drawn by using arrows representing the forming σ-bond and the shifting of π-bonds in the π-system of a polyene.
- The reaction conditions (thermal or photochemical) controls the product in such a way that the rotation for end lobes (ring closure) of the HOMO of conjugated (π-system) polyene.
- According to Woodward-Hoffmann rule for thermal and photochemical Electrocyclic reactions,
π-systems | Thermal | Photochemical |
6- π-electrons | Disrotatory | Conrotatory |
8- π-electrons | Conrotatory | Disrotatory |
To determine: the major product formed for each of the given electrocyclic reactions.
