Interpretation:
Mechanism for given reaction has to be proposed.
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 a sigmatropic reaction “ one new sigma-bond is formed as another breaks.”
Sigmatropic rearrangement reactions are designated with digits. For example a [1, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement describe a reaction in which the residue migrates from position 1 to position 3.
Migration of carbon and hydrogen will occur in a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction.
Mechanism gives the step wise processes occurs in a particular reaction.
