Get started for freeShow how norbornane can be prepared from cyclopentadiene.
Explain why compound A will not undergo a ring-opening reaction under thermal conditions, but compound B will.
Problem:a. For conjugated systems with two, three, four, five, six, and seven conjugated bonds, construct quick MOs (just draw the lobes at the ends of the conjugated system as they are drawn on pages 1220 and 1221) to show whether the HOMO is symmetric or antisymmetric.
b. Using these drawings, convince yourself that the WoodwardโHoffmann rules in Table 28.1 are valid.
Propose a mechanism for the following reaction:
Problem:Which of the following are correct? Correct any false statements.
a. A conjugated diene with an even number of double bonds undergoes conrotatory ring closure under thermal conditions.
b. A conjugated diene with an antisymmetric HOMO undergoes conrotatory ring closure under thermal conditions.
c. A conjugated diene with an odd number of double bonds has a symmetric HOMO.
