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...
