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: The endiandric acids comprise a group of unsaturated carboxylic acids isolated from a tree that grows in the rain forests of eastern Australia. The methyl esters of endiandric acids D and E have been prepared from polyene Y by a series of two successive electrocyclic reactions: thermal ring closure of the conjugated tetraene followed by ring closure of the resulting conjugated triene. (a) Draw the structures (including stereochemistry) of the methyl esters of endiandric acids D and E. (b) The methyl ester of endiandric acid E undergoes an intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition to form the methyl ester of endiandric acid A. Propose a possible structure for endiandric acid A.

Question: What product is formed when each compound undergoes thermal electrocyclic ring opening or ring closure? Label each process as conrotatory or disrotatory and clearly indicate the stereochemistry around tetrahedral stereogenic centers and double bonds.

Question:Draw the product (including stereochemistry) formed from each pair ofreactants in a thermal [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction.

Question: Draw the product formed (including stereochemistry) in each pericyclic reaction.
