Chapter 27, Problem 27.35P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product formed by the thermal electrocyclic ring closure of given triene N is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. These reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The product formed by the photochemical electrocyclic ring closure of given triene N is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. These reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The given processes are to be labeled as conrotatory or disrotatory.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. These reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene. In Conratotory process, the orbitals where rearrangement is taking place rotates in clockwise direction and in disrotatory process the atomic orbitals rotates in opposite direction.

(a) What product is formed when triene N undergoes thermal electrocyclic ring closure? (b) What product is formed when triene N undergoes photochemical ring closure? (c) Label each process as conrotatory or disrotatory.
(a) Draw the products (including stereoisomers) formed when 2methylhex-2-ene is treated with HBr in the presence of peroxides. (b) Draw the products (including stereoisomers) formed when (S)-2,4dimethylhex-2-ene is treated with HBr and peroxides under similar conditions.
The endiandric acids comprise a group of unsaturated carboxylic acids isolated from a tree that grows in the rainforests of eastern Australia. The methyl esters of endiandric acids D and E have been prepared from polyene Y by a series of two successive electrocyclic reactions: thermal ring closure of the conjugated tetraene followed by ring closure of the resulting conjugated triene. (a) Draw the structures (including stereochemistry) of the methyl esters of endiandric acids D and E. (b) The methyl ester of endiandric acid E undergoes an intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition to form the methyl ester of endiandric acid A. Propose a possible structure for endiandric acid A.
