Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The stereochemical pathway for the given cycloaddition [6+4] photochemical reaction is to be stated using the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.

Concept introduction: The Diels-Alder reactions are the chemical reactions in which diene and dienophile participate to form Diels-Alder adduct. The diene compounds should be conjugated. Conjugated compounds contain at least one single bond in between two double bonds.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The stereochemical pathway for the given cycloaddition [8+2] thermal reaction is to be stated using the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.

Concept introduction: The Diels-Alder reactions are the chemical reactions in which diene and dienophile participate to form Diels-Alder adduct. The diene compounds should be conjugated. Conjugated compounds contain at least one single bond in between two double bonds.
