Physical properties of cycloalkanes
The physical properties of cycloalkanes are as follows: 1. State: Cycloalkanes are typically colorless liquids or solids at room temperature, with higher members existing as …
What is axial and equatorial hydrogen?
In cyclohexane, a common cyclic hydrocarbon, two types of hydrogens are present due to the chair conformation of the molecule: axial hydrogens and equatorial hydrogens. …
Coulson and Moffitt’s Modification
Coulson and Moffitt’s modification, also known as the bent bond or banana bond model, is a theoretical concept proposed in organic chemistry to explain the …
Sachse Mohr’s theory (Theory of strainless rings)
Introduction: Sachse and Mohr (1918) argued that cycloalkanes beyond cyclopentane could be stable if all the ring carbons were not constrained to lie in a …
Baeyer Strain Theory
Adolf von Baeyer, a German chemist and a Nobel prize winner from the University of Munich, Germany, in 1885, proposed a theory to explain the …
Stability of Cyclo-Alkanes
A stable organic compound means it is much less reactive. By the term stability, we get an idea about the chemical reactivity of a compound. …
Chemical properties of cycloalkane
Cycloalkanes are a class of hydrocarbons with a circular arrangement of carbon atoms. Due to the cyclic structure, these compounds possess a certain degree of …
Method of preparation of cycloalkanes
