(a)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for the reaction is to be stated and the reaction is to be classified as electrocyclic, cycloaddition, and the sigmatropic reaction. Along with that the number of electrons involved in the reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In the pericyclic reactions, the bond formation and dissociation occur simultaneously. The pericyclic reaction occurs in a concerted fashion with the cyclic shift of electrons. They are of three types, electrocyclic, cycloaddition and the sigmatropic reactions. They occur in the presence of heat or light.
