Ordinarily the barrier to rotation about a carbon-carbon double bond is quite high but in compound P double bond between two rings was observed by NMR to have a rotational energy barrier of only about 20 cal/mol., showing that it has lot of single bond character. The reason for this is
Options
- ADouble bond having partial triple bond character because of resonance
- BDouble bond undergoes flipping
- CDouble bond having very high single bond character because of aromaticity gained in both three and five member
- D+I effect of n C 3 H 7 groups makes double bond having partial single bond character.
Correct answer
C. Double bond having very high single bond character because of aromaticity gained in both three and five member
