Effects on reactivity Antiaromaticity

antiaromaticity can have significant effect on pka. linear compound 1-propene has pka of 44, relatively acidic sp carbon center because resultant allyl anion can resonance stabilized. analogous cyclic system appears have more resonance stabilized, negative charge can delocalized across 3 carbons instead of two. however, cyclopropenyl anion has 4 π electrons in cyclic system , in fact has substantially higher pka 1-propene because antiaromatic , destabilized. because antiaromatic compounds short-lived , difficult work experimentally, antiaromatic destabilization energy modeled simulation rather experimentation. some antiaromatic compounds stable, larger cyclic systems (in antiaromatic destabilization not substantial). example, aromatic species 1 can reduced 2 relatively small penalty forming antiaromatic system. antiaromatic 2 revert aromatic species 1 on time reacting oxygen in air because aromaticity preferred. the loss of antiaromaticity can driving force of reaction. in following ke

Cyclobutadiene Antiaromaticity

cyclobutadiene however, has long been questioned if cyclobutadiene genuinely antiaromatic , recent discoveries have suggested may not be. cyclobutadiene particularly destabilized , attributed antiaromaticity. however, cyclobutadiene adopts more double bond character in 2 of parallel bonds others , π electrons not delocalized between 2 double-bond-like bonds, giving rectangular shape opposed regular square. behaving 2 discrete alkenes joined 2 single bonds, , therefore non-aromatic rather antiaromatic. despite lack of π-antiaromatic destabilization effect, none of 4n π-electron relatives (cyclooctatetraene, etc.) had close destabilization, suggesting there more going on in case of cyclobutadiene. found combination of angle strain, torsional strain, , pauli repulsion leads extreme destabilization experienced in molecule. this discovery awkward in contradicts basic teachings of antiaromaticity. @ point of time, presumed cyclobutadiene continue used introduce concept of antiaromaticity in
