Cycloalkanes: Nomenclature
Industrial source
Preparation
Reactions similar to that of alkanes (free radical substitution) ,
Reactions alkenes (addition or cleavage of the double bond)
Ring Strain in Cyclopropane Average heat of composition per CH2 = 157.4 Kcal / mol Ring strain in cyclopropane = 27.6 Kcal/mol Ring strain in cyclobutane = 26.3 Kcal/mol
Ring Strain in Cyclopropane Eclipsing (torsional) strain: Strain resulting from deviation from the staggered arrangement Bond-Angle Strain: Strain resulting from deviation from the normal bond angle (tetrahedral 109.5)
Addition to cyclopropane
Addition to cyclopropane Cyclobutane undergoes hydrogenation under vigorous conditions
Relieve of torsional strain in cyclobutane Puckered structure (butterfly)
Relieve of torsional strain in cyclopentane Envelope (half chair) structure
