Chapter 20, Problem 20.53P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product formation in the given example of Cope rearrangement of 1,5-diene has to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Cope-rearrangement:

It is a pericyclic reaction that involves the redistribution of six electrons through the formation of a cyclic transition state from which a 1,5-diene gets converted into its isomeric form.

Example with mechanism of cope-arrangement:

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 20, Problem 20.53P , additional homework tip  1

In this mechanism, two pi-bonds and one sigma bond of the reactant molecule has been rearranged and formed two new pi-bonds through a cyclic transition state.

Identification of cope-rearrangement in a1,5-diene:

In the cope-rearrangement, the flow of electrons takes place between six bonds that are bonded as C=C-C-C-C=C. Identification of such a bonding pattern in a 1,5-diene indicates the possibility of Cope rearrangement to occur as shown here:
