  2. Cyclobutane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclobutane

    Cyclobutane is a cycloalkane and organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4. Cyclobutane is a colourless gas and is commercially available as a liquefied gas. Derivatives of cyclobutane are called cyclobutanes. Cyclobutane itself is of no commercial or biological significance, but more complex derivatives are important in biology and ...

  3. Ring strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_strain

    The simplest examples of angle strain are small cycloalkanes such as cyclopropane and cyclobutane. Ring strain energy can be attributed to the energy required for the distortion of bond and bond angles in order to close a ring. [3] Ring strain energy is believed to be the cause of accelerated rates in altering ring reactions.

  4. Bent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_bond

    Cyclobutane is a larger ring, but still has bent bonds. In this molecule, the carbon bond angles are 90° for the planar conformation and 88° for the puckered one. Unlike in cyclopropane, the C–C bond lengths actually increase rather than decrease; this is mainly due to 1,3-nonbonded steric repulsion.

  5. Cycloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkane

    Norbornane (also called bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane). Unsubstituted cycloalkanes that contain a single ring in their molecular structure are typically named by adding the prefix "cyclo" to the name of the corresponding linear alkane with the same number of carbon atoms in its chain as the cycloalkane has in its ring.

  6. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamer

    For example, butane has three conformers relating to its two methyl (CH 3) groups: two gauche conformers, which have the methyls ±60° apart and are enantiomeric, and an anti conformer, where the four carbon centres are coplanar and the substituents are 180° apart (refer to free energy diagram of butane).

    For example, different types of apples each have their own PLU code, as do different kinds of nuts, organic vs. non-organic lettuce, and so on. The stickers also usually contain barcodes for easy ...

  8. Prismanes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prismanes

    The prismanes are a class of hydrocarbon compounds consisting of prism-like polyhedra of various numbers of sides on the polygonal base. Chemically, it is a series of fused cyclobutane rings (a ladderane, with all-cis/all-syn geometry) that wraps around to join its ends and form a band, with cycloalkane edges.
