Good feature:
Coupled sigmatropic rearrangements (Cope plus competing non-concerted pathways); tests ability to track carbon atoms through allyl radical intermediates in a degenerate system. Ready to create a quiz
Good feature:
Distinguishes between conrotatory (thermal 8π) versus disrotatory pathways when conjugation allows alternative closures; forces use of Hückel topology diagrams. Carbocation Rearrangements: Hydride shifts and alkyl shifts
The Data Set:
- Carbocation Rearrangements: Hydride shifts and alkyl shifts.
- Pericyclic Reactions: Diels-Alder reactions, Cope rearrangements, and Claisen rearrangements. These require visualizing molecular orbitals (HOMO/LUMO) rather than just arrow pushing.
