Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given electrocyclic reaction, 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
4- π-electrons Conrotatory Disrotatory
6- π-electrons Disrotatory Conrotatory
