Pericyclic Reactions: Concepts A ground-state pericyclic change is symmetry allowed when the total number of (4q + 2) s and (4r) a component is odd Allowed o permesa, if it proceeds easily according to the conservation of orbital symmetry.

Since reactions of this kind often proceed by nearly simultaneous reorganization of bonding electron pairs by way of cyclic transition states, they have been termed pericyclic reactions. The four principle classes of pericyclic reactions are termed: Cycloaddition, Electrocyclic, Sigmatropic, and Ene Reactions. The stereochemical outcome of an electrocyclic reaction depends on the number of participating electrons and wether it is a thermal or photochemical process.

Pericyclic reactions are one of the three major classes of organic reactions, along with polar/ionic reactions and radical reactions. Pericyclic reactions have been understood only relatively recently compared to the other classes. In a polar/ionic reaction, one reactant (the nucleophile) donates two electrons to another (the electrophile) to form a bond. Electrocyclic reactions are a sub-type of pericyclic reaction which is unimolecular and in which the termini of a conjugated system become sigma bonded to each other to form a shortened pi system. The reverse of this, the cleavage of a sigma bond to generate a longer conjugated system, is sometimes called a retroelectrocyclic reaction. nm! kcal/mol! 1,3,5-Hexatriene π-Molecular Orbitals!
