1
New cards

small ring cycloalkenes

cyclopropane and cyclobutane are highly strained

2
New cards

angle strain

strain due to expansion or contraction of bond angles

  • cyclopropane (significant)

  • cyclobutane


3
New cards

torsional strain

strain due to eclipsing of bonds between neighboring atoms

  • cyclopropane

  • cyclobutane (puckers to relieve)


4
New cards

steric strain

strain due to repulsive interactions when atoms approach each other too closely

5
New cards

cyclopentane

  • no angle strain

  • if flat, has torsional strain and puckers
