Draw the product of each of the following reactions:
(a)

Interpretation:
The product formed in the given reaction has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Pericyclic reactions are “ any concerted reaction in which bonds are formed or brocken in a cyclic transition state”. There is a single transition state from start to finish, in contrast to a stepwise reaction.
There are mainly three types of pericyclic reactions,
- 1) Pericyclic reactions
- 2) Cycloaddition reactions
- 3) Sigmatropic reactions
Woodward –Hoffmann rules are the set of rules used to vindicate or predict certain aspects of the stereo chemical outcome and activation energy of pericyclic reactions.
Woodward – Hoffmann rules for pericyclic reactions are listed below
A photochemical reaction takes place when a reactant absorbs light and a thermal reaction takes place without the absorption of light.
Woodward – Hoffmann rules for the configuration of pericyclic reactions are,
