Question
For the cascade of your choice (A-B-D or A-C-E), explain in detail the reaction mechanism. Considering the Woodward-Hoffmann rules and frontier molecular orbital theory to suggest whether the reaction is allowed or forbidden
Transcribed Image Text:HOMEWORK 2
1. Compund A undergoes a cascade of electrocyclic reactions to give compound B under
thermal conditions, and C under photochemical conditions. Compounds B and C can
undergo a further cycloaddition reaction under photochemical conditions to give
compounds D and E, respectively. Please write the chemical structures of compounds
B, C, D, and E. For the cascade of your choice (A-B-D or A-C-E), explain in detail the
reaction mechanism. Considering the Woodward-Hoffmann rules and frontier molecular
orbital theory to suggest whether the reaction is allowed or forbidden.
