Question
Chapter 30.4, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Product of the photochemical cyclization of (2E,4Z,6E)-2,4,6-octatriene. Of (2E,4Z,6Z)-2,4,6-octatriene.
Concept introduction:
In photochemical reactions, the orbitals of the HOMO of the excited state to determine the course of the reaction. The excited state HOMO has the opposite orientation of the outermost p orbitals compared to the HOMO of the ground state. As a result, the method of ring closure of a photochemical electrocyclic reaction is opposite to that of a thermal electrocyclic reaction for the same number of pie bonds.
Photochemical electrocyclic reactions occur in a conrotatory fashion for a conjugated polyene with an odd number of pie bonds.

The reaction of (2S)-2-chloro-3-methylpentane with sodium iodide yields two products: (2R)-2-iodo-3-methylpentane and racemic 3-iodo-2-methylpentane. Account for the formation of each of these two products. For each product, you should show how it is formed and what that tells you about the mechanism of that specific reaction.
Addition of one mole of HBr to 2,4-hexadiene gives a mixture of 4-bromo2-hexene and 2-bromo-3-hexene. No 5-bromo-2-hexene is formed. Account for the formation of the first two bromoalkenes and for the fact that the third bromoalkene is not formed.
What would the major organic reaction product be from the reaction of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane withsodium hydroxide? Would the elimination reaction outcome be affected if a student accidentally adds sodium tertbutoxide instead of sodium hydroxide?
