Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The product of the given electrocyclic reaction is to be drawn by using curved arrows.

Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions involve the conversion of σ bonds into π bonds or π bonds into σ bonds. These reactions can take place in photochemical and as well as thermal conditions. The photochemical and thermal reactions take place in the presence of light and heat respectively.

The curved arrows aid in determining the movement and flow of electrons in the reactions. The electrons that take part in the chemical reactions are shown by the curved arrows.
