Everything about Cyclic Compound totally explained
In
organic chemistry, a
cyclic compound is a
compound in which a series of carbon atoms are connected to form a loop or ring.
Benzene is a well known example. The term "polycyclic" is used when more than one ring is formed in a single molecule for instance in
naphthalene, and the term
macrocycle is used for a ring containing more than a dozen atoms.

Cyclic compounds can be categorized:
Cyclic aldehydes are aldehydes that have their -CHO group bonded directly to the ring. The suffix is -
carbaldehyde or
carboxaldehyde.
Ring-closing & opening reactions
Related concepts in organic chemistry are so-called
ring-closing reactions in which a cyclic compound is formed and
ring-opening reactions in which rings are opened.
Examples of ring-closing reactions:
Ring-closing metathesis
Nazarov cyclization reaction
Ruzicka large ring synthesis
Dieckmann condensation
Wenker synthesis
Example of ring-opening reactions:
A general type of polymerization reaction: Ring-opening polymerization
Ring opening metathesis polymerisationFurther Information
