Get started for freeExplain why two different products are formed from disrotatory ring closure of (2E,4Z,6Z)-octatriene, but only one product is formed from disrotatory ring closure of (2E,4Z,6E)-octatriene.
Why was a deuterated compound used in the last reaction on the preceding page?
Problem:a. Under thermal conditions, will ring closure of (2E,4Z,6Z,8E)-2,4,6,8-decatetraene be conrotatory or disrotatory?
b. Will the product have the cis or the trans configuration?
c. Under photochemical conditions, will ring closure be conrotatory or disrotatory?
d. Will the product have the cis or the trans configuration?
A student found that heating any one of the isomers shown here resulted in scrambling of the deuterium to all three positions on the five-membered ring. Propose a mechanism to account for this observation.
a. Identify the mode of ring closure for each of the following electrocyclic reactions.
b. Are the indicated hydrogens cis or trans?
