Explain 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.
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.

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.
