Which outcome occurs when the orbital symmetry mismatch prevents constructive interference in a pericyclic reaction?

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate decreases greatly because orbital symmetry enforces specific interactions during pericyclic reactions. This creates an energy barrier due to destructive interference rather than constructive, therefore a greatly reduced reactions rate, not different isomers.
