T Tina324 Full Member 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Sep 2, 2008 #3 so cyclopropene with ALL of its H's...does NOT have a continuous pi system..correct? Upvote 0 Downvote
J JBarr29 Full Member 10+ Year Member 5+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Sep 3, 2008 #4 because it will have sp3 carbon when no Hs are removed....makes it non aromatic Upvote 0 Downvote
keliao Full Member 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Sep 3, 2008 #5 cyclopropene (non-aro due to sp3) cyclopropene with a lone pair ( anti-aro) cyclopropene with positive charge (non-aro) Upvote 0 Downvote
