Among the given organic compounds, the total number of aromatic compounds is

Among the given organic compounds, the total number of aromatic compounds is

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

Huckel’s rule states, for a compound to be aromatic, the compound should be planar, cyclic, and should have (4n+2)π( 4n + 2 ) \pi electrons that should be in continuous delocalization or an uninterrupted cyclic pi-electron cloud should be there. Here n=0,1,2…0, 1, 2 \ldots

So if we put n=00, we get 22π electrons

If we put n=11, we get 66π electrons

If we put n=22, we get 1010 π electrons and so on.

Compound (A) is not aromatic due to presence of sp3{sp}^{3} carbon between the rings.

Hence the compounds,B,C and D are Aromatic as they have (4n+2)( 4n + 2 ) delocalising π\pi electrons associated to the ring.

Hence the number of aromatic compounds is 33
