- 1.1: Introduction to Pericyclic Reactions
- This page provides an overview of the three types of pericyclic reactions: cycloadditions, electrocyclic reactions, and sigmatropic rearrangements.
- 1.2: Cycloaddition Reactions
- This page covers common cycloaddition reactions, including the Diels-Alder reaction, ene reaction, photo [2+2], ketene [2+2], and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, and discusses why some are promoted by heat and others by light.
- 1.3: Electrocyclic Reactions
- This page covers electrocyclic reactions promoted by heat and light including 4 pi, 6 pi, and 8 pi. It focuses on the molecular orbital analysis to explain conrotatory and disrotatory reaction pathways. It also covers ionic electrocyclic reactions including the Nazarov reaction.
- 1.4: Sigmatropic Rearrangements
- This chapter highlights synthetically useful sigmatropic rearrangements including hydride shifts, the Cope rearrangement, the Claisen rearrangement, and the Wittig rearrangement.
