Question

Will cyclooctatetrane shows aromaticity. Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

In terms of the aromaticity criteria described earlier , cyclooctatetraene is not aromatic since it fails to satisfy the 4n + 2 π electron Huckel rule (i.e. it doesn't have an odd number of π electron pairs). It is actually an example of a 4n π electron system (i.e. an even number of π electron pairs).
