Chapter 25.3, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed when the given compound in Problem 27.6 undergoes photochemical electrocyclic ring opening or ring closure is to be predicted. The given process is to be labeled as conrotatory or disrotatory. The stereochemistry around tetrahedral stereogenic centers and double bonds is to be indicated.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions involve the conversion of σ bonds into π bonds or π bonds into σ bonds. These reactions can take place in photochemical and as well as thermal conditions. The photochemical and thermal reactions take place in the presence of light and heat respectively.

Curved arrows aid in determining the movement and flow of electrons in the reaction. The electrons that take part in the chemical reactions are shown by the curved arrows.
