Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.56P
13-56 Four alternatives to the structure of benzene proposed by Kekule are shown in the text. In this problem, we ask you to propose additional alternatives for compounds with the molecular formula C6Hg.
As you think about possible alternatives keep in mind the building blocks available to you. Also keep in mind that carbon must be tetravalent, that is, each carbon must have no more and no fewer than four bonds.
Three- four-, five-, and six-membered rings
Carbon—carbon single, double, and triple bonds
The possibility for cis /trans isomerism for
carbon-carbon double bonds
