Answer to Question 1

The mnemonic TECA assists us in remembering that Thermal pericyclic reactions with Even numbers of electrons will occur with Conrotatory or Antarafacial stereochemistry. As a result, the following statements also apply: Photochemical pericyclic reactions with even numbers of electrons will occur with disrotatory or suprafacial stereochemistry. Thermal pericyclic reactions with odd numbers of electrons will occur with disrotatory or suprafacial stereochemistry. Photochemical pericyclic reactions with odd numbers of electrons will occur with conrotatory or antarafacial stereochemistry.
