MOLECULAR ORBITALS(A review)
HOMO = Highest Occupied Molecular OrbitalLUMO = Lowest Unoccupied Molecula Orbital
SYMMETRIC = Symmetry operation does not changelobe signs
ANTISYMMETRIC = Symmetry operation inverts lobesigns
Generic energy level ordering: , , *, * (for-type
orbitals the more nodes, the higher the energy)

ELECTROCYCLIC REACTIONS
Electrocyclic reactions are controlled by the symmetryof the HOMO of the polyene.

CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS
Cycloadditon reactions are controlled by thesymmetries of the HOMO of one component and theLUMO of the other component (they must match).

Note:
Antarafacial additions may not be possible forgeometric reasons.
Stereochemical issues:
cis/trans products (stereochemistry of startingmaterials)
exo/endo products (secondary HOMO-LUMOinteractions)
regioselectivity (controlled by the relative size oforbital lobes)

A General Procedure for Determination of What'sAllowed
Note: The orbitals used here are "basis" orbitals (notany specific molecular orbitals).
1. Draw the reaction scheme and show with arrows the"electron flow".
2. Draw all basis orbitals participating in the reaction (
and ).
3. Connect with lines on the same face (side) all orbitallobes forming continuous networks or bonds.
4. Give the connected lobes the same sign (color).5. Indicate the newly made bonds with arrows, following
the stereochemistry you want to explore.6. Count the number of electrons, and the number of
sign inversions in the "cycle" of connected orbitals.7. Use the table below to determine whether the reaction
is allowed or disallowed.
For thermal reactions_______________________________________________
# of electrons odd # of sign even # of signin the cycle inversions inversions_______________________________________________
4n allowed disallowed4n + 2 disallowed allowed (aromatic)_______________________________________________
For photochemical reactions the rules are reversed
