In this chapter we shall take up the alicycUc hydrocarbons (a//phadc cyclic hydrocarbons). Much of the chemistry of cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes we already know, since it is essentially the chemistry of open-chain alkanes and alkenes. But the cyclic nature of some of these compounds confers very special properties on them. It is because of these special properties that, during the past fifteen years, alicyclic chemistry has become what Professor Lloyd Ferguson, of the California State College at Los Angeles, has called the playground for organic chemists. It is on some of these special properties that we shall focus our attention.
