Interpretation For the given anionic compound, it should be checked whether the compound is aromatic, nonaromatic or anti aromatic
Concept introduction:
The conditions for
- 1. It should be planar
- 2. It must obey the
Huckel’s rule The requirement of an odd number of electron pair is called Huckel’s rule. A compound can only be aromatic if the number of π electron in the ring is 2, 6,10,14,18 and so on. This series of number can be expressed mathematically as 4n+2, where n should be an integer and the compound is aromatic.
- 3. Continuous conjugated
π system(all carbon should be in
sp2 hybridized state)
In order to have six πelectrons in a seven membered ring one of the carbon atom must possess an empty p orbital. This carbocation exhibits a continuous system of overlapping and p orbitals and has six π electrons.
So the first and third criteria for aromaticity are satisfied.
- The conditions for non-aromatic compound is
The compound not either planar or cyclic but it must satisfy the Huckel’s rule
- The conditions for anti-aromatic compound is
It satisfy all the conditions except Huckel’s rule in the conditions of aromaticity
