KnowraCyclopropaneLinked fromLinked fromThe 7 pages that link to Cyclopropane, each with the reason it gives.All 7Broader topic 4Compared with 3Ring strainBroader topic: Its compressed geometry makes it a classic example of severe angle strain.CycloalkaneBroader topic: Its 60-degree ring angles make it the clearest case of severe angle strain.PropyleneCompared with: It shares propylene’s molecular formula but has a ring instead of a double bond.Adolf von BaeyerBroader topic: Its severe angle strain exemplifies the small-ring instability Baeyer tried to explain.CyclobutaneCompared with: Its smaller ring makes the effect of ring size on strain easy to compare.Alicyclic compoundBroader topic: Its extreme ring strain is a clear case of geometry controlling reactivity.CyclopropeneCompared with: Replacing one ring bond with a double bond creates cyclopropene’s distinctive strain and reactivity.
