Question: How can X be prepared from a constitutional isomer by a series of [2+2]cycloaddition reactions? Interest in molecules that contain several cyclobutane rings fused together has been fueled by the discovery of pentacycloanammoxic acid methyl ester, a lipid isolated from the membrane of organelles in the bacterium Candidatus Brocadia anammoxidans. The role of this unusual natural product is as yet unknown.

Question: A solution of 5-methylcyclopenta-1,3-diene rearranges at room temperature to a mixture containing 1-methyl-, 2-methyl-, and 5-methylcyclopenta-1,3-diene. (a) Show how both isomeric products are formed from the starting material by a sigmatropic rearrangement involving a C–H bond. (b) Explain why 2-methylcyclopenta-1,3-diene is not formed directly from 5-methylcyclopenta-1,3-diene by a [1,3] rearrangement.
