Question
Chapter 28, Problem 28.7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Both the conrotatory processes for the thermal electrocyclic conversion of
An explanation as to why the two processes are equally likely is to be stated.
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.
In conrotatory, the end group atomic orbital rotates in a clockwise direction.
