    The document discusses various pericyclic reactions like sigmatropic rearrangements and factors like thermal vs photochemical conditions that influence their stereochemistry. It also covers topics like electronic transitions, photochemistry principles and requirements of a photosensitizer.

    Sigmatropic rearrangements involve the migration of a substituent within a cyclic transition state. Factors like the order of rearrangement ([1,3] vs [1,5]), use of thermal vs photochemical conditions and FMO approach can influence the stereochemical outcome.

    Electronic transitions can be singlet-singlet, singlet-triplet or triplet-triplet. Selection rules are based on spin and orbital symmetry. The Jablonski diagram shows possible radiative and non-radiative pathways after excitation.
