(a)
Interpretation:
A mechanism should be proposed for the given reaction.
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.
In an electrocyclic reaction “one new sigma- bond is formed or brocken.”
Diels-alder reaction is a cycloaddition reaction which is occurs between a conjugated diene and substituted
Mechanism gives the step wise processes occurs in a particular reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The product should be determined for the given reaction if trans-2-butene were used instead of ethene.
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.
In an electrocyclic reaction “one new sigma- bond is formed or brocken.”
Diels-alder reaction is a cycloaddition reaction which is occurs between a conjugated diene and substituted alkene to form cyclohexene ring system. This concerted reaction can be accelerated by heating or using some catalysts.
Mechanism gives the step wise processes occurs in a particular reaction.

HOOC H₂NIC H 川 CH3 CH,CH3 Draw the Newman projection in staggered conformation for isoleucine by viewing the molecule along the C-2-C-3 bond. 1. Edit the Newman projection on the canvas. 2. Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate -CH3 or other groups. 3. If you need to start over, Undo or choose a Newman projection from the Templates toolbar (bottom). Important: Never delete the hydrogen atoms or bonds directly attached to the template, and do not move them by dragging or dropping them. That will break the projections structures. Only replace them! ▸ View Available Hint(s) 0 2 H± 3D EXP. L ד י CONT. 2 H 0 N оarrow_forward
