Cyclopropane undergoes addition reactions that other cycloalkanes and alkanes do not. This is because of angle strain in the small ring. Because the bond angles are less than the optimal 109.5o for maximum overlap, the bonds are weaker than normal carbon-carbon single bonds and can be added to. Cyclobutane has angle strain that is less than that for cyclopropane, reacts with H2/Ni at a higher temperature, but does not react like cylcopropane in the other exceptional reactions.

Cyclohexane does not have any angle strain! It isn’t a flat molecule. By rotating about the carbon-carbon bonds, it can achieve 109.5o bond angles.
conformations of cyclohexane chair twist boat boat
The chair conformation of cyclohexane is free of both angle strain and torsional strain (deviation from staggered). This is the most stable conformation.
The boat conformation is free of angle strain, but has a great deal of torsional strain (eclipsed). To relieve the strain, it twists slightly to form the twist boat:
a = axial positions in the chair conformation e = equatorial positions
CH3 in axial position CH3 in equatorial position is more stable
Cycloalkenes, syntheses: • Modification of a ring compound: • 1) dehydrohalogenation of an alkyl halide • 2) dehydration of an alcohol • 3) dehalogenation of vicinal dihalides • (B. Ring closures)

Alicyclic compounds are chemically like their open chain analogs. The exceptions are for small ring compounds where angle strain may give rise to reactions that are not typical of other molecules.
