Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Given that cyclopropanone is highly reactive because of the large angle strain in the molecule. Methylcyclopropenone, although even more strained than cyclopropanone, is quite stable and can even be distilled. Taking the polarity of the carbonyl group into account this observation is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Carbonyl group is polar as oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. According to Huckel’s rule, any specie that is cyclic, planar and has (4n+2) Ï€ electrons will be
To explain:
Taking into account the polarity of the carbonyl group, the observation that cyclopropanone is highly reactive because of the large angle strain in the molecule while methylcyclopropenone, although even more strained than cyclopropanone, is quite stable and can even be distilled.
