Chapter 25, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product formed by the disrotatory cyclization of the given diene M is to be drawn. The stereochemistry at new sp3 hybridized carbon atoms is to be indicated. The given reaction whether occurs under photochemical or thermal conditions is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions are pericyclic reactions which takes place by concerted mechanism. These reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene.

2) Rank the following dienes in order of increasing rate of Diels-Alder reaction with maleic anhydride. You do not need to explain your ranking. H3C. H3CO Diene A Diene B Diene C
Draw the product formed when diene M undergoes disrotatorycyclization. Indicate the stereochemistry at new sp3 hybridized carbons.Will the reaction occur under thermal or photochemical conditions
The bicyclic alkene P can be prepared by thermal electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene Q or by photochemical electrocyclic ring closure from cyclodecadiene R. Draw the structures of Q and R, and indicate the stereochemistry of the process by which each reaction occurs.
