Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for the given reaction which contains two [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangements is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: In the sigmatropic rearrangement, the rearrangement of pi bond and the breaking of sigma bond take place. This results in the generation of new sigma bond in the product. In this type of rearrangement, the number of pi bonds remains constant in the reactant as well as in the product.

The phenomenon in which two compounds differ only in the position of proton, that is, a new compound is formed when a proton gets transferred from one atom to another, in the same compound, is known as tautomerism.
