| I assume "liner" means linear. You apologize for spelling but don't bother to correct it. I think any decent college or university level organic
chemistry text will give several ways to cyclize linear alkanes. In general, one way is to have a different functional group at each end of the alkane
(e.g., X-R-Y) where the X and Y react with each other and are eliminated to leave a cyclical alkane; this will be more likely in a dilute solution, of
course. If this solution is beyond you, I suggest you consult a reference as earlier suggested, or maybe you are asking a question beyond your
understanding. |
