Abstract
This book opens with a lucid description of pericyclic reactions and principles of molecular orbital symmetry. Molecular orbitals of alkenes, conjugated alkenes, and conjugated ions or radicals have been adequately explained to provide background for appreciating the subject matter given in the subsequent chapters. It has been shown that the molecular orbitals and their symmetry properties play a key role in understanding various types of pericyclic reactions. The chapter also provides simple ways to analyze the pericyclic reactions using orbital symmetry correlation-diagram, frontier molecular orbital (FMO), and perturbation molecular orbital (PMO) methods.
