Chapter 28, Problem 28.7P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Both the conrotatory processes for the thermal electrocyclic conversion of (2E,4E)-2, 4- hexadiene into 3,4- dimethylcyclobutene is to be shown.

An explanation as to why the two processes are equally likely is to be stated.

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 conrotatory, the end group atomic orbital rotates in a clockwise direction.
