Chapter 15, Problem 15.48AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation as to why the given compound is not aromatic is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

According to Huckel’s rule, a molecule having (4n+2)π electrons is said to be aromatic. Aromatic compounds are planar molecules and the electrons are in conjugation. Antiaromatic compounds are compounds that have (4n)π electrons and to avoid destabilization, they are generally non-planar molecules.

Of the following compounds, + are aromatic. +
Pyrene has been determined experimentally to be aromatic. At first glance, however, its structure appears to break Hückel’s rule. How so? Can you explain why pyrene exhibits aromaticity?Hint: What are the characteristics of the π system on the periphery of the molecule?
If a molecule contains an aromatic ring, such as a benzene ring, attached to a non-aromatic ring, how does that affect the overall aromaticity of the molecule?
