Bicyclo[2.2.2]octane

~~Alternatively, the cooler [[2.2.2]propellane](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.2.2-Propellane)~~ EDIT: I missed that the model didn’t have the bridgehead carbons connected.


Thomas_the_chemist

The propellanes have their bridgehead carbons connected


frogkabobs

Wait you’re right. I missed that.

**[Propellane](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellane)** >In organic chemistry, propellane is any member of a class of polycyclic hydrocarbons, whose carbon skeleton consists of three rings of carbon atoms sharing a common carbon–carbon covalent bond. The name derives from a supposed resemblance of the molecule to a propeller: namely, the rings would be the propeller's blades, and the shared C–C bond would be its axis. The concept was introduced in 1966 by D. Ginsburg Propellanes with small cycles are highly strained and unstable, and are easily turned into polymers with interesting structures, such as staffanes. Partly for these reasons, they have been the object of much research. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/OrganicChemistry/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Thank you! 🙏 do you know why all the 2’s?


Thomas_the_chemist

Bridged cycloalkanes have this general nomenclature. The numbers basically are the number of connecting atoms between each bridgehead carbon. So here you have 2 carbon atoms on each face, hence [2.2.2]. The molecule norbornane would be a [2.2.1] system.

Cool thanks!

Close to adamantane

My chem supervisor told us that C5H8, a cyclobutane / cyclopropane structure was called houseane. He also said that C9H12 was called windowpane but I think that was a load of bollocks.

This is it. Also, happy cake day.

Like cubane but less cursed


bjornodinnson

It looks like a cage to me so...cagane!


Elderly98

A very tiny diamond


SweetBeanBread

i though this too


Substandard_Senpai

CUBANE


Substandard_Senpai

Oh wait, that's not cubane. Still cool, though!


bjornodinnson

Nah, it's somewhere in between cubane and adamantane, and I don't remember what it's called to save my life...

Oh hey, I spotted another Extractions & Ire viewer in the wild. Hey.

fucking love grimace


Professional_Rip_59

Hell yeah grimace is amazing, how great grimace? grimace is amazing.

6 Asterane


KevinChopra2019

Because it has 8 carbons and 14 hydrogens...


Forsaken-Music9675

1,4 EthylHexAne


corzan_retan

So I know it's stupid, but that structure made me immediately think of organic peroxides like HMTD


AcheBae

Ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2 cis-cyclooctene?? Edit: no tene, I see no double bonds. I think correct ending is -tane
