1. (72 points total, 3points per box) in each box below, draw the structure
of the reagent or major product of the reaction, where appropriate. If no reaction occurs,
put a large X in the box. Clearly indicate the double bond geometry and relative
stereochemistry of the major product, where appropriate.

2. (28 points total) In a Nazarov Cyclization (below), treatment of a dienone with a strong
Lewis acid effects a thermal 4ʌ electrocyclic ring closure, giving intermediate A, and an aqueous
workup affords the final product (B), the thermodynamically most stable cyclopentenone.

a. In the diagram below, draw the ʌ atomic orbitals (by shading the lobes appropriately) that
represent the ʌ system of C (the precursor to A) in the reaction above (2 points each).
b. Write the number of nodes in the box to the left of each orbital array (1 point each).
c. For the ground state of C, draw the electron population for each orbital on the line to the
right of each orbital array. Clearly indicate whether each electron is “spin up” or “spin
down”. If there are no electrons in a given orbital, leave the line blank (1 point each).

d. (4 points each) For the example of the Nazarov cyclization below, in the indicated
boxes draw the direct product of the electrocyclic ring closure and the

indicate stereochemistry and double bond geometry, as appropriate.
