. [10]-Annulene may be represented by the following isomeric structures. (a) Say whether any of these is aromatic or not, and explain your answer. (b) If [10]-annulene were to be disubstituted with methyl groups at positions C1 & C6, which of the two structures would be preferred and why? (c) If C1 & C6 were linked (i) directly to each other or (ii) through a methylene group, would you expect any aromaticity from the resulting compounds. If not, why? And if so to what degree?
