numbering is done so that the next substituent gets the lower number possible.
However in case three or more substituents are present the numbering is
started at the substitutent that leads to the lowest set of locants.
In case a single ring system is attached to a single chain with greater number
of carbon atoms (than in the cycloalkane) or when more than one ring system
is attached is a single chain, in such cases the compounds are named as
cycloalkylalkans. Some examples are given below:
CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
If the cycloalkanes contain more than one double bond, the location of
the olefinic bonds may be obvious as in the case of the following three
cycloalkenes, in which only one structure is possible.

The reaction of ethyl acetoacetate with 1, 5-dibromobutane in presence
of sodium ethoxide gives cyclohexylmethyl ketone as shown below:
The above method can also be used for the synthesis of macrocyclic
rings (having as many as 34 carbon atoms) by the distillation of thorium,
cerium or yttricum salts of dicarboxylic acid mixed with copper powder
at 300°C in vacuo.
As per Blanc’s rule, this method in useful for the synthesis of 5- and
6-membered cyclic ketones. Blanc’s rule is an empirical rule and is
based on experimental observation of the case of formation of cyclic
ketones and anhydrides. The Blanc’s rule states that pyrolysis of 1,4-
and 1,5-dicarboxylic acids yield cyclic anhydrides white 1, 6- and 1,
7-discarboxylic acids yield cyclic ketones and higher dicarboxylic
acids remain uneffected.
The cyclic ketones obtained by the above method could be converted
into cycloalkanes by any of the following methods.

In this method a dicyano compound NC CH2(CH2)2 CH2CN, reacts
with LiNEt2 in excess of benzene or toluene. The resulting cyclic imino
compound on hydrolysis and subsequent decarboxylation gives the
corresponding cyclic ketone is good yield.
Synthesis of Cycloalkanes 13
14 Alicyclic Chemistry
To account for the ready formation of large rings, it is believed that the two
ends of the esters are adsorbed weakly on the surface of sodium metal. In
this way, the reactive ends are not available for intermolecular reaction to
complete with cyclisation.
The reaction can take place even at room temperature if the dienophile
has an electron attracting groups like carbonyl, cyano, CO2H, Cl etc.
For example.
Synthesis of Cycloalkanes 15
(b) [2 + 2] Cycloaddition
As already stated in this type of addition, two alkene molecules combine
together to form a cyclobutane derivative.
The above reaction proceed under photochemical conditions and are
called photodimerisation. This reaction proceed in a concerted manner
involving cyclic transition state.
Certain suitably substituted alkens like R2C = CF2 or R2C = CHX (X
= – COR, – CN, – COOR etc.) form cyclobutane derivatives under
thermal conditions. These reaction proceed via a free radical mechanism
involving diradical intermediates.

Properties of Cycloalkanes
4.1 Physical properties
With a few exceptions, the boiling points and melting points of cycloalkanes
show some gradation. A comparison of the melting and boiling points of
cycloalkanes and alkanes (Table 1) show that the cycloalkanes melt and boil
at higher temperature than the alkane. This may probably due to the fact that
the zig-zag alkane molecules are constantly fluttering making it difficult for
the molecules, in the solid state to be closely packed there by lowering their
melting points as compared to cycloalkanes where the more rigid structure
prevents this fluttering to a great extent. Also the intermolecular attractions
in alkanes are less than those in corresponding cycloalkanes hence the lower
boiling points of alkans.
Cycloalianes like alkanes are insoluble in water due to their low polarity and
their inability to form hydrogen bonds. However, cycloalkanes are soluble in
solvents of low polarity, like benzene, carbon tetrachloride. Also cycloalkanes
(like alkanes) are lest dense of all groups of organic compounds. Their
densities are considerably less than 1.00 g mol–1 the density of water at 4°C).
So cycloalkanes float on water.
4.3 Ultraviolet Spectra
Like alkanes, cycloalkans are also transparent to uv light above 220 nm.
Cyclopropane, unlike alkene, is not hydroxylated with aq. KMnO4 and also
does not add ozone.

Table 4.2 Deviations from the normal tetrahedral angle in case of cycloalkanes
and heats of combustion per CH2 unit

Deviation
(geometry) in planar ring per CH2 group (kJ/mol)
Cyclopropane 1
60° 697.0
(equilateral triangle) 2 (109.5 – 60) = 24.75°
Cyclobutane 1
90° 686.0
(square planar) 2 (109.5 – 90) = 9.75°
Cyclopentane 1

(regular pentagon) 2 (109.5 – 108) = 0.75°
Cyclohexane 1

(regular hexagon) 2 (109.5 – 120) = –5.25°
Cycloheptane 1
128.5° 662.4
(regular heptagon) 2 (109.5 – 128.5) = – 9.5°
Cyclooctane 1
135° 663.8
(regular octagon) 2 (109.5 – 130) = 12.75°
The positive values of deviation mean that the bond angles are compressed
while negative values mean expansion of the bond angle from the tetrahedral
angle. The molecule is strained in both the situations. As seen from the table,
the deviation from the normal tetrahedral angle falls rapidly in going from C3
to C5 ring system and then there is slow rise. This is in agreement with the fact
that cyclopropane, being more strained, is more reactive than cyclobutane.
This is also in agreement with the observed facts.
The postulates of Sachse and Mohr were responsible for the synthesis of a
number of multi-membered ring compounds. The difficulty encountered
in the synthesis of large ring compounds was wrongly ascribed by Baeyer
to their instability. In fact, it arises out of the fact that for ring closure to
take place it is essential that the two functional groups at the terminal of a
bifunctional compound should come sufficiently close so as to react with each
other. Thus, if two such groups are situated at the terminal of a long chain,
there is less possibility of these two groups coming close enough to react with
each other and hence intermolecular condenzation between functional groups
of different molecules may result in polymerisation. This difficulty has been
recently overcome by high dilution technique.

of combustion can be used to measure the relative stabilities of the isomers.

CH3
As seen in the above butane liberates more heat on combustion than isobutane.
This implies that butane contains relatively more potential energy. Therefore,
isobutane must be more stable.
The cycloalkanes also constitute a homologons series, each member of the
series differing from the one immediately preceding of by a constant amount
of one –CH2– group. So, the general equation for the combustion of a
cycloalkane will be
3
(CH2)n + nO2 nCO2 + nH2O + heat
2
Since cycloalkanes are not isomeric, their heat of combustion cannot be
directly compared. However, it is possible to calculate the amount of heat
evolved per CH2 group. On the basis of this, the stabilities of cycloalkanes
can be compared directly. The results of such investigation are given the table
below:
As already stated small ring cycloalkanes contain 3 and 4 carbon atom, viz,
cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes.
5.1 Cyclopropanes
We have already discussed the methods of preparation of cyclopropanes and
its properties (both physical and chemical) in the earlier chapters of the book.

5.1.3 Cyclopropanols
Cyclopropanols are prepared by hydroboration of proprgyl bromide (Brown
and Rhodes, 1969)
of carbanion character at the reaction site, and proton addition occurs with
inversion of configuration. This is illustrated by the following example.
5.1.4 Cyclopropene
In cyclopropene, the olefinic bond is unusually short and the olefinic vCH[3080
– 3100 cm–1] is correspondingly high.
The srained olefinic bond in cyclopropene is also active in the Diels’s Alder
addition:
5.2 Cyclobutanes
Cyclobutanes can be prepared as given below:
(a) By the reaction of a, w-dibromoalkane with disodiomalonic ester. (for
details see page 7).
(b) By Hofmann exchaustive methylation method (Willstater, 1907).

And after the prayer the Archpriest openeth the book of the
apostles over the head of the reader. And the subdeacons conduct
him from the Archpriest, and place him in the middle of the church,
with his face towards the east, and give him the book of the apostles,
and he readeth thus, The reading of the message of the holy apostle
Paul to the Romans (or, to others). And he readeth the portion of the
epistle that is appointed, from the beginning to the end, and turneth
himself and boweth thrice to the Archpriest according to rite. And the
subdeacons take off from him the phelonion, and conduct him to the
Archpriest. And the Archpriest again signeth his head thrice with the
hand. And they bring the sticharion to the Archpriest, and he signeth
the sticharion with his hand over the cross. And he that hath been
appointed, having signed himself with his hand, kisseth the cross
upon the sticharion, and the hand of the Archpriest; and the
subdeacons vest him with the sticharion. And the Archpriest
addresseth him on this wise,
Child, the first degree of the priesthood is that of reader. Therefore
it becometh thee to read every day in the divine scriptures, that they
that hear, considering thee, may receive edification, and that thou, in
nowise shaming thine election, mayest prepare thyself for a more
advanced degree. For, living temperately, holily, and righteously, thou
shalt gain the mercy of the man-loving God, and make thyself worthy
of a higher ministry, in Christ Jesus our Lord, to whom be glory to
ages of ages. Amen.
Then the Archpriest saith on this wise,
Blessed be the Lord, lo, the servant of God, name, becometh
reader of the most holy church, name, in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
And the Archpriest giveth him a lamp, and he standeth before the
Archpriest with the lamp in the indicated place.
And if there be several readers to receive the laying
on of hands they receive this together,
and the prayer is said in the
plural.
THE OFFICE THAT IS USED AT THE LAYING ON
OF HANDS OF A SUBDEACON.
Now if on the same day he is to receive the laying on of hands for
the subdiaconate, after the investing with the sticharion, the
subdeacons bring a sticharion-girdle to the Archpriest. And the
Archpriest maketh the sign of the cross upon the girdle, and he that
is to receive the laying on of hands kisseth the girdle, and the hand
of the Archpriest, and they gird him. And the Archpriest signeth him
with the hand upon the head thrice. After this the protodeacon saith,
Let us pray to the Lord. And the Archpriest, having laid his hand
upon him, saith this prayer.
O Lord our God, who through one and the same holy Spirit,
distributest gifts to them whom thou hast chosen, bestowing various
orders in thy church, and appointing degrees of service therein for
the ministration of thy divine and spotless mysteries, who, in thine
unspeakable foreknowledge, dost also appoint this thy servant to be
worthy to serve in thy holy church; do thou thyself, O Master,
preserve him blameless in all things, and grant unto him to love the
beauty of thy house, to stand at the doors of thy holy temple, to
kindle the lamp of the tabernacle of thy glory; and plant him in thy
holy church as a fruitful olive-tree that beareth fruit of righteousness;
and, at the time of thine advent, declare thy servant perfected to
receive the reward of them that have been acceptable unto thee.
Exclamation.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to
ages of ages. Amen.
And after the prayer the subdeacons give a ewer to him that is
receiving the laying on of hands, and lay a towel upon his shoulder;
and the Archpriest washeth his hands. And he that is receiving the
laying on of hands for subdeacon poureth water on the hands of the
Archpriest. After this he that is receiving the laying on of hands, and
the other subdeacons, kiss the Archpriest’s hand, and betake
themselves from him to the indicated place. And he that is receiving
the laying on of hands for subdeacon standeth, holding the ewer,
and the wash-hand basin, together with the towel, until the cherubic
hymn. And he saith, Trisagion. O most holy Trinity.... Our Father....
Lord, have mercy. I believe in one God.... Forgive, remit.... and
whatever else he is minded to say secretly. And during the cherubic
hymn he is conducted before the royal doors to the Archpriest; and
the Archpriest washeth his hands according to rite, and saith the
prayer. Then he signeth the water with his hand crosswise thrice.
And the Archpriest with this sanctified water wetteth his eyes, ears,
nostrils, and lips. And at the great introit he walketh behind all the
ministers. And when the Archpriest taketh up the holy things, and all
the ministers proceed into the altar, he that is receiving the laying on
of hands for subdeacon boweth to the Archpriest, and beareth water
to the right and left choirs, and to the people, and they all splash
themselves with this water. And they conduct him back to the altar,
and they pour the water that remaineth into the piscina. And, being
conducted, he remaineth before the royal doors, and standeth in the
indicated place according to rite. And when the Archpriest hath said,
And may the mercies.... after this exclamation he is conducted into
the altar by the subdeacons according to rite, and, having received a
blessing from the Archpriest, he standeth with the subdeacons.
