Concept introduction:
Cycloaddition reactions are pericyclic reactions that take place in two compounds containing pi bonds to form cyclic compounds. These reactions are concerted and stereospecific in nature. According to Woodward-Hoffmann rules, the polyene containing even number of bonds in thermal conditions undergoes reaction in antarafacial fashion and polyene containing odd number of bonds undergo reaction in suprafacial fashion. The total number of bonds present in the

Examine each of the following ALLOWED electrocyclic, sigmatropic or cycloaddition reactions. Determine in each of these how many electrons are involved. For electrocyclic and cycloaddition reaction, this includes π-electrons (4n or 4n+2); for sigmatropic reactions, one σ bond electrons also contribures. Tell what type of concerted reaction each is, and whether 4n or 4n+2 system. Thank you!

- As you might suspect, B-carotene, C,Hw precursor to vitamin A, was first isolated from carrots. Dilute solutions of B-carotene are yellow, hence its use as a food coloring. In plants, it is almost always present in combination with chlorophyll to assist in the harvesting of the energy of sunlight and to protect the plant against reactive species produced in photo- synthesis. As tree leaves die in the fall, the green of their chlorophyll molecules is replaced by the yellows and reds of carotene and carotene-related molecules.
