Which of the following correctly ranks the cycloalkanes in order of increasing ring strain per methylene?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
strain : cyclohexane is strain-free (0); cyclopentane has small torsional strain from its puckering; cyclobutane has large angle strain (~90°); cyclopropane has the largest (60° angles plus full eclipsing). Hence cyclohexane cyclopentane cyclobutane cyclopropane.
