Question: Draw the product of each electrocyclic reaction.
a. the thermal electrocyclic ring closure of (2E,4Z,6Z)-nona-2,4,6-triene
b. the photochemical electrocyclic ring closure of (2E,4Z,6Z)-nona-2,4,6-triene
c. the thermal electrocyclic ring-opening of cis-5-ethyl-6-methylcyclohexa-1,3-diene
d. the photochemical electrocyclic ring-opening of trans-5-ethyl-6-methylcyclohexa-1,3- diene
Question: (a) Using Figure 27.2 as a guide, draw the molecular orbitals for hexa-2,4-diene. (b) Label the HOMO and the LUMO in the ground state. (c) Label the HOMO and the LUMO in the excited state.
Question: Use curved arrows and draw the product of each electrocyclic reaction.

Question: Draw the product formed when diene M undergoes disrotatory cyclization. Indicate the stereochemistry at new hybridized carbons. Will the reaction occur under thermal or photochemical conditions?

Question: Classify each pericyclic reaction as an electrocyclic reaction, cycloaddition, or sigmatropic rearrangement. Indicate whether the stereochemistry is conrotatory, disrotatory, suprafacial, or antarafacial.
