Cycloaddition Reactions
|
An assortment of thermal and photochemical cycloaddition reactions are shown here. The photochemical reactions are noted by a hν over the arrow. The reader should inspect each reaction to determine whether it has a 4n or a 4n+2 electron transition state, and deduce the expected stereochemistry. By clicking on the diagram this information will be displayed. |
