 CYCLIC ALKANES AND ALKENES

Hydrocarbon compounds exist not only in the linear chain form, but also as rings. Chemical properties, functional groups, and reactions of ring compounds are very similar to those of the linear chain form. Both cycloalkanes and cycloalkene type compounds exist. Many important biological, vitamin, and drug compounds may have rings as part of their structures.

The simplest compound that can be a ring form must contain three carbons. Cyclopropane, a sweet-smelling colorless gas, is sometimes used as an anesthetic. It produces a deep unconsciousness in a matter of seconds.

Cyclopentane is shown on the left. The general formula for rings is CnH2n. For cyclic alkanes, carbon must still have four bonds, hence each carbon is attached to two others and two hydrogens are groups may be attached to each carbon (structure on the right). A brief structure shows only the bonds as in the compound on the extreme left. The carbons with appropriate hydrogens are assumed at each angle change. You need to be able to recognize and draw both types of structures
