Vedclass · Answer

(D) To determine aromaticity,we use $H$ückel's rule: a compound is aromatic if it is cyclic,planar,fully conjugated,and contains $(4n + 2) \pi$ electrons.$A$. Benzene $(C_6H_6)$ has $6 \pi$ electrons $(n=1)$,so it is aromatic.$B$. Cyclooctatetraenyl dianion $(C_8H_8^{2-})$ has $10 \pi$ electrons $(n=2)$,so it is aromatic.$C$. Tropylium cation $(C_7H_7^+)$ has $6 \pi$ electrons $(n=1)$,so it is aromatic.$D$. Cyclopentadienyl cation $(C_5H_5^+)$ has $4 \pi$ electrons ($n=1$ in $4n$ rule),making it anti-aromatic. Thus,it is not aromatic.

$I. -OH$	$II. -CN$
$III. -CO_2H$	$IV. -OCH_3$
$V. -NHCOCH_3$	$VI. -CHO$
