Question
Chapter 11, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given cycloaddition reactions are allowed or forbidden according to the Woodward-Hoffmann rules is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The orbitals directly involved in bond formation are called frontier orbitals. They are the HOMO of one reactant and LUMO of the other reactant.
Electron withdrawing groups attached to the dienophile increase its reactivity. Electrons flow from the diene to the dienophile.
In-phase overlap is necessary for the formation of a sigma bond. Such an overlap is termed as symmetry allowed, according to the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.
If the HOMO-LUMO lack symmetry and experience and antibonding interaction, then such an overlap is symmetry forbidden.

Free‑radical halogenation can occur with chlorine and a source of direct UV radiation or sunlight. Chlorination of 2,4‑dimethylpentane via radical halogenation leads to the formation of all three of the products shown. Estimate the relative percentages of each product that will be formed using this means of halogenation. Presume that 1 equivalent of chlorine is used.

During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature.

Note that the answer is not as simple as comparing the heats of hydrogenation of 1,4-pentadiene and trans-1,3pentadiene. Although the double bonds are moved from unconjugated to conjugated, the degree of substitution of one of the double bonds is also changed, in this case, from a monosubstituted double bond to a trans disubstituted double bond. To answer this question, you must separate the effect that is the result of conjugation from that caused by a change in the degree of substitution.arrow_forward
