Pericyclic reactions This reaction occurs as a result of a cyclic reorganization of electrons

Certain common features of pericyclic reactions •They are all concerted reactions, electron reorganization takes place in single step. Therefore, there is one TS and no intermediates • As the reactions are concerted, they are highly stereoselective • The reactions are generally not effected by catalysts or by a change in solvent

Product configuration depends on •Configuration of the reactant •The number of double bonds in the reactant •Whether the reaction is photochemical or thermal

Some pericyclic reactions are induced thermally or photochemically

Conservation of Orbital Symmetry Theory

R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann (1965)

In phase orbitals overlap during the course of a pericyclic reaction Based on Frontier orbital theory (1954, Fukui) (HOMO, LUMO)

Molecular orbital symmetry controls •Weather or not compound undergoes a reaction under particular conditions •What product will be formed

A molecular orbital description (ethene) (zero probability of finding electrons)

• Overlap of in-phase p orbitals gives a bonding π molecular orbital that is lower in energy than the p atomic orbitals. • Overlap of out-of-phase p atomic orbitals gives an antibonding π molecular orbital that is higher in energy than the p atomic orbitals.

1,3-butadiene

Asymmetric

Nodes are more than no. of bonding interactions

Symmetric

Asymmetric bonding interactions are more than no. of nodes

Symmetric

Four p atomic orbitals overlap to give the four π molecular orbitals

Electrocyclic Reactions These reactions are defined as involving the cyclization of an n pi-electron system to an (n-2)pi + 2sigma-electron system or the reverse process. n(π)

n-2 (π) + 2 (σ )

• The reactions are reversible. • Observance of ring opening and ring closure depends upon the thermodynamic stability of the open and closed forms.

Sigmatropic reactions These reactions are defined as involving migration of a σ bond that is flanked by one or more conjugated systems to a new position within the system etc

migrating σ bond etc

The reaction is termed [ i, j ] sigmatropic shift when the bond migrates from position [1,1] to position [i,j]. Examples:

A biological reaction involving an electrocyclic reaction and a sigmatropic reaction 7-dehydrocholesterol, a steriod formed in skin, is converted into Vitamin D3 by two pericyclic reactions

• Deficiency in vitamin D causes rickets. • Deficiency in vitamin D can be prevented by getting enough sun. • Too much vitamin D is also harmful – causes calcification of soft tissues •skin pigmentation protects the skin from the sun’s UV rays (it prevents the synthesis of too much vitamin D3)
