Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17.21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that cyclopentadienyl cation and radical are not aromatic is to be predicted, using inscribed polygon method.
Concept introduction: Inscribed polygon method is used to predict the relative energies of molecular orbitals of cyclic, completely conjugated molecules. Inscribed polygon is also known as Frost circle.

Construct MO energy diagrams for the cyclopropenyl cation, radical, and anion. Which of these species is aromatic according to the Hückel criteria?
Pyrene has been determined experimentally to be aromatic. At first glance, however, its structure appears to break Hückel’s rule. How so? Can you explain why pyrene exhibits aromaticity?Hint: What are the characteristics of the π system on the periphery of the molecule?
Imagine that you used isoprene as diene – in that case you don’t have to worry about assigning endo vs exo. Draw the "endo" and "exo" products of the Diels-Alder reaction between isoprene and maleic anhydride, and explain why the distinction is irrelevant here.
