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

Question: Show how the following starting material is converted to the given product by a series of two pericyclic reactions. Account for the observed stereochemistry.

Question: What cyclic product is formed when each decatetraene undergoes thermal electrocyclic ring closure?

Question:(a) Draw the product of the following [4 + 2] cycloaddition, which was carried out in the early stages of the synthesis of the alkaloid reserpine (Problem 22.83). Indicate the stereochemistry at any newly formed stereogenic centers. (b) Draw the porbitals of the alkene and the terminal carbons of the conjugated diene, and show how the orientation of the reactants and orbital overlap lead to the observed stereochemistry.

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.
