Question:

(a) Sketch the pi molecular orbitals of hexa-1, 3, 5-triene (Figure 15-25).
(b) Show the electronic configuration of the ground state of hexa-1, 3, 5-triene.
(c) Show what product would result from the [6 + 2] cycloaddition of hexa-1, 3, 5-triene with maleic anhydride.
(a) Sketch the pi molecular orbitals of hexa-1, 3, 5-triene

(d) Show that the [6 + 2] cyclization of hexa-1,3,5-triene with maleic anhydride is thermally forbidden but photochemically allowed.
(e) Show the Diels-Alder product that would actually result from heating hexa- 1,3,5-triene with maleic anhydride.
