CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS A cycloaddition is a reaction in which two unsaturated molecules undergo an addition reaction to yield a cyclic product . Formation of cyclic product takes place at the expence of one П bond in each of the reacting partner and gain of two sigma bonds at the end of the both components having pi bonds. Thus in this reaction there is loss of two pi bonds of the reactants and gain of two sigma bonds in the product .
FACTS OF CYCLOADDITIONS REACTION THE CYCLOADDITION REACTION ARE CLASSIFIED WITH RESPECT TO THREE FACTS OF THE REACTION : ( i) A cycloaddition reaction involves the formation of two bonds between the termini of two independent -systems, resulting in ring formation - or the reverse process. ( ii) Cycloaddition reactions are stereospecifi c ( e.g. cis/trans isomers). The stereospecificity being afforded by the suprafacial or antarafacial nature of the approach of the two -units in the transition state . ( iii) The suprafacial or antarafacial process involved in the bond making process is controlled by the HOMO / LUMO interactions of the two -systems in the transition state .
TERMINOLOGY SUPRAFACIAL MODE New bonds to the same side of the p- system ANTARAFACIAL MODE New bonds to the opposite side of the p- system
SYMMETRY IN LINEAR CONJUGATED PI-SYSTEM M-Symmetry(mirror-symmetry) M-symmetry means plane of symmetry C2-Symmetry(centre-symmetry) C2-symmetry means centre of symmetry
FMO METHOD In order for a cycloaddition to occur,must be bonding overlap between p orbital at the terminal carbons of each p electron system ,this is where the new sigma-bonds are formed. Lets us explain this point with a [4+2] cycloaddition. Let us suppose that diene (4 p - component) behaves as electron donar and the dienophile (2 p - component)as the electron acceptor.
[2+2] CYCLOADDITION REACTION When 2 p electron and 2 p electron system combine together to give cycloalkene the reaction is called 2+2 cycloaddition it can occur suprafical antrafacial mode of addition.

[4+2] CYCLOADDITION REACTION A cycloaddition reaction is the concerted bonding together of two independent pi-electron systems to form a new ring of atoms. ... The Diels-Alder cycloaddition is classified as a [4+2] process because the diene has four pi-electrons that shift position in the reaction and the dienophile has two.
[4+2] cycloaddition reaction THERMAL INDUCED REACTION –There are two possible interactions, HOMO (diene) – LUMO (dienophile) and HOMO(Dienophile)-LUMO(diene). 1.HOMO(Diene)-LUMO(dienophile)
2….HOMO(Dienophile)-LUMO (Diene)
[4+2] cycloaddition reaction PHOTO INDUCED REACTION -When diene is excited by light.its HOMO becomes Ψ ₃ * which has m symmetry and this MO cannot overlap with LUMO of ethylene which has C₂ symmetry. Thus photochemical Cycloaddition of [4+2] Systemis symmetry forbidden reaction.
1,3 –DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITIONS 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions represent synthetically important reactions for the preparation of heterocyclic five-membered rings. They belong into the group of [4+2] cycloadditions according to the Woodward-Hoffmann classification.
