Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products of the given electrocyclic reactions are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

▸ Electrocyclic reactions are initiated by heat or light and are stereospecific in nature.

▸ The thermal electrocyclic reaction having 4Π electrons takes place with conrotatory motion.

▸ The photochemical electrocyclic reaction having 4Π electrons takes place with disrotatory motion.

▸ The photochemical electrocyclic reaction having (4n+2) Π electrons takes place with conrotatory motion.

▸ The thermal electrocyclic reaction having (4n+2) Π electrons takes place with disrotatory motion.
