  2. 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.

  3. Ring strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_strain

    In cycloalkanes, each carbon is bonded nonpolar covalently to two carbons and two hydrogen. The carbons have sp 3 hybridization and should have ideal bond angles of 109.5°. Due to the limitations of cyclic structure, however, the ideal angle is only achieved in a six carbon ring — cyclohexane in chair conformation. For other cycloalkanes ...

  4. (1R,3R)-1,2,3-Trimethylcyclopentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(1R,3R)-1,2,3-trimethylcyc...

    Each carbon atom within the cyclopentane ring is sp 3 hybridized with the theoretical C-C-C bond angles near 108 degrees. Therefore ring strain is less prominent compared to other cycloalkanes as there is minimal deviation from the ideal tetrahedral bond angle, 109.5 degrees. However, in a planar molecule such as (1R,3R)-1,2,3 ...

  5. Cyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_compound

    A cyclic compound or ring compound is a compound in which at least some its atoms are connected to form a ring. [1] Rings vary in size from three to many tens or even hundreds of atoms. Examples of ring compounds readily include cases where: all the atoms are carbon (i.e., are carbocycles),

  6. Polycyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_compound

    In the field of organic chemistry, a polycyclic compound is an organic compound featuring several closed rings of atoms, primarily carbon. [1] These ring substructures include cycloalkanes , aromatics , and other ring types.

  7. Alkyl cycloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_cycloalkane

    Alkyl cycloalkanes are chemical compounds with an alkyl group with a single ring of carbons to which hydrogens are attached according to the formula C n H 2n. They are named analogously to their normal alkane counterpart of the same carbon count: methylcyclopropane, methylcyclobutane, methylcyclopentane, methylcyclohexane, etc. [1]

  8. Cyclopropane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopropane

    Cyclopropane is the cycloalkane with the molecular formula (CH 2) 3, consisting of three methylene groups (CH 2) linked to each other to form a triangular ring.The small size of the ring creates substantial ring strain in the structure.

  9. Bicyclic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicyclic_molecule

    The bridged bicyclic norbornane, formally bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane The spirocyclic compound spiro[5.5]undecane DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) is often incorrectly depicted with one skewed ethylene group for the sake of clarity. A bicyclic molecule (from bi 'two' and cycle 'ring') is a molecule that features two joined rings. [1]
