Interpretation:
Reaction between 1,3-Cyclopentadiene and cycloheptatrienone is suprafacial or antarafacial to give the product which is given below:
Concept introduction:
[6 + 4] Cycloaddition is a type of cycloaddition between a six-atom pi system and a four-atom pi system, leading to a ten-membered ring. It is a thermally allowed, higher-order cycloaddition process. Although most linear, acyclic trienes do not give [6 + 4] products selectively, cyclic trienes give high yields of [6 + 4] products in many cases.
A suprafacial cycloaddition occurs when like phases of the p orbitals of both reactants are on the same side of the pie system, so that two bonding interactions result.
An antarafacial cycloaddition occurs when one pie system must twist to align like phases of the p orbitals of the terminal carbons of the reactants.

- Compound A has molecular formula C7H15B.. Treatment of compound A with sodium ethoxide yields only one elimination product (compound B) and no substitution products. When compound B is treated with dilute sulfuric acid, compound C is obtained, which has molecular formula C7H160. Draw the structures of compounds A, B, and C.arrow_forwardBecause bromocyclohexane is a secondary alkyl halide, both cyclohexanol and cyclohexene are formed when the alkyl halide reacts with hydroxide ion. Suggest a method to synthesize cyclohexanol from bromocyclohexane that forms little or no cyclohexene.arrow_forwardTreatment of cis-4-bromocyclohexanol with HO– affords compound A and cyclohex-3-en-1-ol.
