Explain why the follwing system is not aromatic: |
| Answer» SOLUTION :The ring contains ONE `sp^3` hybridised carbon. So it is not plannar. Moreover, the `pi` electrons outside the ring cannot fully conjugate with the `pi` electrons of the ring. HENCE it is not a fully conjugated cyclic SYSTEM containing 6 delocalised `pi` electrons. So it is not AROMATIC. | |
