1,3,5, -Cycloheptatriene (C) can undergo two different electrocyclic ring closures as given below under thermal and photochemical conditions. Identify the mode of rotation (Conrotatory or Dirotatory) in each product D and E. Using Aromatic transition state theory show that both reactions are allowed.
