For mechanisms, please be sure to include all intermediates, resonance forms, curved arrows, formal charges, and lone pairs as appropriate.


2. Draw a mechanism for, and the product of, the following thermally induced electrocyclic reaction. Illustrate the HOMO pi molecular orbital involved using p-orbitals, and use your illustration to explain the stereochemistry associated with the ring closure. Please designate the process as conrotatory or disrotatory, and be sure to include dash/wedge notation for your product. (8 points)
