Chapter 27: Q 14. (page 1090)

Question:Draw the product (including stereochemistry) formed from each pair ofreactants in a thermal [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction.

Short Answer

Expert verified

For a [4+2] cycloaddition, the bond formation can occur superficially under thermal conditions.

The [4+2] cycloaddition considering HOMO of diene and LUMO of alkene is shown below:
