cikloalkanlar
Cikloalkanlar, also known as cycloparaffins or naphthenes, are saturated hydrocarbons that contain one or more carbon rings. The general formula for a monocyclic alkan is CnH2n. The simplest cycloalkane is cyclopropane, a three-membered ring with the formula C3H6. Other common cycloalkanes include cyclobutane (C4H8), cyclopentane (C5H10), and cyclohexane (C6H12). Cyclohexane is particularly important due to its prevalence in petroleum and its use as a solvent and precursor in chemical synthesis.
The properties of cycloalkanes are similar to those of their acyclic counterparts, alkanes. They are generally
