Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17.22P
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.

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.
Describe the ground-state electron configuration of the cyclopentadienyl cation and radical. Assuming each species is planar, would you expect it to be aromatic or antiaromatic?
A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.
