Which of the following cycloalkanes is not capable of showing cis-trans isomerism ?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Ans. (C). Cis-trans isomerism in a ring needs two ring carbons each bearing one substituent that can be on the same or opposite faces. In 1,1-dimethylcyclopentane both CH3 groups are on the same ring carbon, so no cis-trans form exists. The others are 1,2- or 1,3-disubstituted rings, which show cis-trans isomerism.
