(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction has to be identified as electro cyclic reaction, a cycloaddition reaction or a sigma tropic reaction.
Concept introduction:
Pericyclic reactions are “ any concerted reaction in which bonds are formed or broken 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) Electrocyclic reactions
- 2) Cycloaddition reactions
- 3) Sigmatropic reactions
In an electrocyclic reaction “one new sigma- bond is formed or broken.”
In a cycloaddition reaction “ two new sigma-bonds are formed or broken”
In a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction “ one new sigma-bond is formed as another breaks.”
