More CH2 groups means cyclobutane has more eclipsing H-H interactions and therefore has more torsional strain. It does however have hydrogen-methyl interactions, but are not as high in energy than methyl-methyl interactions.
Objectives After completing this section, you should be able to describe the Baeyer strain theory. Key Terms Make certain that you can define, and use in context, the key terms below. Heat of Combustion as a Measure of Bond Strength. The Eclipsed C-H Bonds in Cyclopropane Larger rings like cyclohexane, deal with torsional strain by forming conformers in which the rings are not planar. Answer The trans form does not have eclipsing methyl groups, therefore lowering the energy within the molecule.
Answer Cyclobutane has 4 CH 2 groups while cyclopropane only has 3. Questions Q4. Solutions S4. The main source of ring strain in cyclopropane is angle strain. All of the carbon atoms in cyclopropane are tetrahedral and would prefer to have a bond angle of The large deviation from the optimal bond angle means that the C-C sigma bonds forming the cyclopropane ring are bent.
Maximum bonding occurs when the overlapping orbitals are pointing directly toward each other. The severely strained bond angles in cyclopropane means that the orbitals forming the C-C bonds overlap at a slight angle making them weaker.
The constrained nature of cyclopropane causes neighboring C-H bonds to all be held in eclipsed conformations. Cyclopropane is always at maximum torsional strain. This strain can be illustrated in a Newman projections of cyclopropane as shown from the side. Cyclopropane isn't large enough to introduce any steric strain.
Steric strain does not become a factor until we reach six membered rings. Before that point, rings are not flexible enough to allow for two ring substituents to interact with each other.
Cyclobutane is a four membered ring. The larger number of ring hydrogens would cause a substantial amount of torsional strain if cyclobutane were planar. In three dimensions, cyclobutane is flexible enough to buckle into a "puckered" shape which causes the C-H ring hydrogens to slightly deviate away from being completely eclipsed.
This conformation relives some of the torsional strain but increases the angle strain because the ring bond angles decreases to 88 o. In a line drawing, this butterfly shape is usually shown from the side, with the near edges drawn using darker lines. The deviation of cyclobutane's ring C-H bonds away from being fully eclipsed can clearly be seen when viewing a Newman projections signed down one of the C-C bond.
Cyclopentanes are even more stable than cyclobutanes, and they are the second-most common cycloalkane ring in nature, after cyclohexanes. Planar cyclopentane has virtually no angle strain but an immense amount of torsional strain. Even though the methyl groups are cis in the model on the left, they are eclipsing due the conformation, therefore increasing the strain within the molecule. Skip to main content.

Study Notes Notice that in both cyclobutane and cyclopentane, torsional strain is reduced at the cost of increasing angular angle strain.
Cyclopropane A three membered ring has no rotational freedom whatsoever. Cyclobutane Cyclobutane is a four membered ring.
Cyclopentane Cyclopentanes are even more stable than cyclobutanes, and they are the second-most common paraffinic ring in nature, after cyclohexanes.
