Electrocyclic Reactions

The video introduces electrocyclic reactions. It focuses on the cyclization of conjugated polyenes and how molecular orbital theory explains their stereochemical outcomes. By the end of the video, viewers should be able to: – Draw and identify the products of electrocyclic reactions, considering both the cyclization and ring-opening parts. – Draw curved arrow mechanisms. – Draw transition state structures for electrocyclic reactions. – Use molecular orbital theory to explain the observed stereochemical outcomes of electrocyclic reactions. – Understand the concept of disrotatory and conrotatory motion. – Predict stereochemical outcomes based on thermal versus photochemical conditions.
