Cyclooctatetraene Antiaromaticity



cyclooctateraene in tub conformation


another example of molecule not antiaromatic though might appear cyclooctatetraene. cyclooctatetraene assumes tub (i.e., boat-like) conformation. not planar, though has 4n π-electrons, these electrons not delocalized , conjugated. molecule therefore nonaromatic.
