How to use in-sentence of “conrotatory”:
– This is a photochemically induced conrotatory electrocyclic reaction.
– If aromatic, linear approaches use disrotatory motion while non-linear approaches use conrotatory motion.
– Disrotatory and conrotatory tell how the bonds in the π-system are rotating.
– Systems containing 4n pi electrons show the opposite conrotatory mode.
– If light opens the ring of 3,4-dimethylcyclobutene, the resulting electrocyclization would be occur by a disrotatory mode instead of a conrotatory mode.
– In a typical electrocyclic ring closing, selection for either conrotatory or disrotatory reactions modes still produces two enantiomers.
