Question: Using the Woodward–Hoffmann rules in Table 27.4, predict the stereochemistry of each reaction.
a. a [6 + 4] thermal cycloaddition
b. photochemical electrocyclic ring closure of deca-1,3,5,7,9-pentaene
c. a [4 + 4] photochemical cycloaddition
d. a thermal [5,5] sigmatropic rearrangement
Question:What product would be formed by the disrotatory cyclization of the given triene? Would this reaction occur under photochemical or thermal conditions?

Question:Consider cycloheptatrienone and ethylene, and draw a possible product formed from each type of cycloaddition:
(a) [2 + 2]
(b) [4 + 2]
(c) [6 + 2]

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: Classify each reaction as an electrocyclic reaction, a cycloaddition, or a sigmatropic rearrangement. Label the σ bonds that are broken or formed in each reaction.
