In my pericyclic reaction, did the symmetry of the HOMO/LUMO match the reaction conditions (thermal vs. photochemical)?

Common pitfalls

"You started with this substrate," Vance said. "Tell me, Elias. If you treat this alkene with (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid), what is the stereochemistry of the product? And don't just say 'epoxide.' I want the face of attack." advanced organic chemistry practice problems
