Answer to Problem 27.8P
The product formed in the given photochemical electrocyclic ring closure reaction is
Explanation of Solution
The thermal electrocyclic ring closure reaction is shown below.
Figure 1
Electrocyclic reactions involve the conversion of
Under photochemical condition, conrotatory process takes place in the given reaction. The orientation of substituents and stereochemistry around tetrahedral stereogenic centers and double bonds in the given reaction are shown below.
Figure 2
The conrotatory process involves the rotation of two orbitals in the same direction. The reaction in above figure implies that orbitals move in the same direction in the reactant molecule and the formation of trans product occurs. One methyl group is present above the plane and one methyl group is present below the plane in the product. Therefore, the product formed in the given photochemical electrocyclic ring closure reaction is

Name and draw the geometry of [Co(H2O)]? b) Draw energy diagrams showing the splitting of the five d orbitals of Co for the two possible electron configurations of [Co(H2O)]: Knowing that A = 16 750 cm and Пl. = 21 000 cm, calculate the configuration energy (.e., balance or ligand-field stabilization energy and pairing energy) for both low spin and high spin configurations of [Co(H2O)]. Which configuration seems more stable at this point of the analysis? (Note that 349.76 cm = 1 kJ/mol) Exchange energy (IT) was not taken into account in part (d), but it plays a role.
