Feasibility of other products from this reaction?
« on: March 21, 2025, 07:46:07 PM »
I ran across this reaction in my homework and while I don’t have any specific homework questions, I just generally want to ask about the feasibility of this reaction and other products (for use in a different context).

Main questions:
Is it possible that this forms a five-membered ring? If so is it more likely to form than what the problem shows?
Is this something that was purely made up for homework or is a realistic intramolecular reaction?

I think I also generally had a question about if there was a good way to convert structures to IUPAC names but that’s more of a secondary question to this one.

Thank you to those who reply and satisfying my curiosity!

This is called a Cope rearrangement and can happen for 1,5-dienes when heated. There are no conditions for cycloaddition as far as I can see.
