Chapter 28, Problem 34P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two product in the given reaction are formed after [1, 7] sigmatropic rearrangement, one due to hydrogen migration and the other to deuterium migration.  It should be represented the configuration of product by replacing the A and B with appropriate atoms (H or D)

Concept introduction:

In a sigmatropic reaction “ one new sigma-bond is formed as another breaks.”

Sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are designated with digits.  For example a [1, 3] sigma tropic rearrangement describe a reaction in which the residue migrates from position 1 to position 3

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 sigma tropic rearrangement reactions are listed below
