  2. Cyclobutene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclobutene

    Cyclobutene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 4 H 6. It is a cycloalkene. It is a colorless gas that easily condenses. It is of interest in research ...

  3. Cyclobutadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclobutadiene

    The compound is the prototypical antiaromatic hydrocarbon with 4 pi electrons (or π electrons). It is the smallest [n]-annulene ([4]-annulene).Its rectangular structure is the result of a pseudo [3] - (or second order) Jahn–Teller effect, which distorts the molecule and lowers its symmetry, converting the triplet to a singlet ground state. [4]

  4. Cycloalkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkene

    In organic chemistry, a cycloalkene or cycloolefin is a type of alkene hydrocarbon which contains a closed ring of carbon atoms and either one or more double bonds, but has no aromatic character. Some cycloalkenes, such as cyclobutene and cyclopentene , can be used as monomers to produce polymer chains. [ 1 ]

  5. Antiaromaticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiaromaticity

    For example, the aromatic species 1 can be reduced to 2 with a relatively small penalty for forming an antiaromatic system. The antiaromatic 2 does revert to the aromatic species 1 over time by reacting with oxygen in the air because the aromaticity is preferred. [15] The loss of antiaromaticity can sometimes be the driving force of a reaction.

  6. Benzocyclobutene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzocyclobutene

    Benzocyclobutene is a strained system which, upon heating to approximately 180 °C, causes the cyclobutene to undergo a conrotatory ring-opening reaction, forming o-xylylene. Since this process destroys the aromaticity of the benzene ring, the reverse reaction is highly favored. Thermal generation of o-xylylene from benzocyclobutene

  7. Cyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_compound

    Cyclic compounds may or may not exhibit aromaticity; benzene is an example of an aromatic cyclic compound, while cyclohexane is non-aromatic. In organic chemistry, the term aromaticity is used to describe a cyclic (ring-shaped), planar (flat) molecule that exhibits unusual stability as compared to other geometric or connective arrangements of ...

  8. Cycloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkane

    Norbornane (also called bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane). Unsubstituted cycloalkanes that contain a single ring in their molecular structure are typically named by adding the prefix "cyclo" to the name of the corresponding linear alkane with the same number of carbon atoms in its chain as the cycloalkane has in its ring.

  9. Benzocyclobutadiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzocyclobutadiene

    Benzocyclobutadiene is the simplest polycyclic hydrocarbon, being composed of an aromatic benzene ring fused to an anti-aromatic cyclobutadiene ring. It has chemical formula C 8 H 6 . Though the benzene ring is stabilized by aromaticity , the cyclobutadiene portion has a destabilizing effect.
