Organic Chemistry 2 | Chapter 16: Conjugated π Systems and Pericyclic Reactions
Rather than making notes for Chapter 14 and Chapter 15 (Mass Spectroscopy, IR-Spec, and NMR, respectively), I chose to rely on my Soderberg Notes on Biological Organic Chemistry, which was posted in a previous blog – in Part 1 of the Personalized Soderberg Notes. For these conjugated π systems and Pericyclic Reactions, though, there are some niche areas that are not covered in Soderberg's textbook, mainly because pericyclic reactions are quite rarely in the body except for electrophilic reactions, which is indirectly covered in Soderberg's Chapter 14: Electrophilic Reactions. Klein's textbook primarily focuses on the Molecular Orbital Theory explanations of these phenomena, which Soderberg does touch on a tad bit, but I surprisingly found the difficult chapter in Klein to be well-explained after working out some of these difficulties, which are noted down in the below pdf. Hope this helps!
