Cyclopropane suffers:
ring strain
torsional strain
both ring and torsional
strain data insufficient
The following molecule suffers the most of ring strain:
cyclohexane, cyclopentane, cyclopropane, or cyclobutane
The following is an isomer of cyclopentane:
pentane, 2-methylpentane, neo-pentane, pentene
(cis)- 1,3-t-butyl cyclohexane:
is stable with both t-butyl groups at axial positions
is stable with both t-butyls at equatorial positions
is stable with one t-butyl at axial, and another at equatorial
data insufficient
what is true of all cycloalkanes?
all are gases
general formula is CnH2n
all carbons have bond angles of 120
all cycloalkanes are much more stable than their alkane cousins
Cyclopropane is:
chemically very reactive
completely inert
relatively inert and undergoes subsitution reactions
relatively inert and undergoes addition reaction
(trans)-1,2 dimethyl cyclohexane:
is stable with both the methyls pointing the opposite direction
is stable with both methyls in adjacent positions
is stable when the methyls are in a,e positions on adjacent carbons
is stable when the methyls are in e,a positions on adjacent carbons
