An organic compound of molecular formula C6H6Br2 has six carbon atoms in a ring system, two non-conjugate double bonds and two bromo groups at 1,4 positions. Then the compound is
  1. aromatic but non-homo-cyclic
  2. aromatic and hetero-cyclic
  3. homo-cyclic but not aromatic
  4. neither homo-cyclic nor hetero-cyclic

Solution

C6H6Br2:-

Double bond equivalent formula = C-H2-X2+1

C=6; H=6;X=2

DBU=6-62-22+1=6-4+1=3

So, it has one ring with two double bonds. It has the two bromo groups at the 1,4 position and has the six membered carbon ring with non-conjugated double bond.

Hence, the structure of compound is :-

.

Hence, the above compound is homo-cyclic but not aromatic.
