Concept:

  • The [2+2] cycloaddition reaction involves the addition reaction of two diene molecules to give a cyclic compound. The [2+2] cycloaddition reaction between two alkenes is a photochemically allowed process.
  • An example is shown below:

F2 Madhuri Teaching 27.03.2023 D86 

  • The [2+2] cycloaddition reaction between an alkyne and an alkene is photochemically allowed but thermally forbidden because of symmetry mismatch between the overlapping orbitals.
  • The intramolecular aldol reaction is the condensation reaction of two aldehyde groups or ketone groups in the same molecule in the presence of a base.
  • An example is shown below:

Explanation:

  • The reaction pathway is shown below:

F3 Vinanti Teaching 25.05.23 D2

  • From the above reaction, we see that the first step involves the [2+2] photochemical cycloaddition reaction between an alkyne and an alkene to give a cyclic compound followed by an ozonolysis reaction.
  • In the last step of the reaction, it undergoes an intramolecular aldol reaction to give the desired product.

Conclusion:

Hence, the structure of A in the following reaction is
