Chapter 17, Problem 48DSP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct statement related to the aromaticity of $\text{1, 2-Epoxycyclohexa-3, 5-diene}$ and oxepine is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The aromaticity of any compound is determined on the basis of Hückel’s rule.

The Hückel’s rule states that the molecule must be planar, cyclic, must have fully conjugated system, and possess $\text{(4n+2)π}$ electrons where $\text{n}$ is a whole number.
