Q.30-20
Question
Would you expect the following reaction to proceed in a conrotatory or
disrotatory manner? Show the stereochemistry of the cyclobutene product, and explain your answer.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The reaction happens through disrotatory mode which yields the fused cyclobutene with 2 hydrogen at the ring junction cis to each other.
1HOMO photochemical reaction
The two electron pairs in the electrocyclic reaction can be involved. The HOMO for photochemical reaction can be given below.
2Bonding is in disrotatory mode
It shows that the bonding is disrotatory mode. Thus, the reaction happens through disrotatory mode which yields the fused cyclobutene with 2 hydrogen at the ring junction cis to each other.
