Problem: Sort the following compounds as either containing aromatic rings or cycloalkane/cycloalkene rings.
FREE Expert Solution
We are asked to sort the following compounds as either containing aromatic rings or cycloalkane/cycloalkene rings.
4 Rules of aromaticity:
1. Cyclic
2. Fully Conjugated
3. Planar
4. Huckel’s Rule: (4n + 2) number of π electrons
cycloalkane → no double bonds alkane ring
cycloalkene → with double bonds alkane ring (in this specific problem can't be aromatic)
