A to B is a photochemical six-electron electrocyclic ring opening; B to C is a thermal six-electron electrocyclic ring closure. The broken or formed sigma bond is between the two methyl-bearing saturated carbons of the cyclohexadiene. Both transformations conserve the carbon skeleton. The light-induced and thermal processes differ in their orbital occupation and therefore in their stereochemical selection rule.
