  "question": "In a photochemical benzene [2+2] cycloaddition reaction using triplet sensitizers, which experimental technique combined with quantum chemical calculations would provide the most definitive evidence for investigating the reaction intermediates?",
  "options": ["Fluorescence spectroscopy alone", "Time-resolved EPR and UV-Vis transient absorption", "Mass spectrometry with TOF analysis", "NMR spectroscopy under static magnetic field"],
  "answer": "Time-resolved EPR and UV-Vis transient absorption",
  "analysis": "Step 1: The reaction involves triplet-state intermediates which EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) can detect due to unpaired electrons. Step 2: UV-Vis can track transient species with absorption in visible range. Step 3: [2+2] cycloaddition often forms biradical intermediates best studied with these techniques. Step 4: MS lacks structural detail and NMR requires long-lived species.",

  "question": "Consider the Diels-Alder reaction of 1-methyl-2-nitrosoxanthone with maleic anhydride. What is the stereochemical outcome and the key influencing factors? Consider the diradical intermediate's reactivity and electronic effects.",
  "options": [],
  "answer": "The reaction produces an endo enol ether product. Key factors include the polar effect of nitroso group, diradical driving force, and orbital co-planarity.",
  "analysis": "Step 1: Recall that nitroso group's strong electron-withdrawing effect stabilizes the conjugated diene's diradical intermediate. Step 2: Overlap of p-orbitals requires conjugated diene planarity maintained during reaction. Step 3: The endo-niche effect arises from steric interactions between methyl group and maleic anhydride carbonyls during six-membered transition state formation.",
