Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 24P
If you examine the structural formulas for the following cycloalkenes, you will see that the configuration of the double bond is cis in each.
Cyclopentene Cyclohexene Cycloheptene
All attempts to synthesize these cycloalkenes in which the double bond has a trans configuration have failed. Apparently, it is impossible to have a
trans configuration in these cycloalkenes. Offer an explanation for why this is so.
