Abstract
Three-membered heterocycles are strained molecules because of the bond angle distortion. These heterocycles have high energy contents relative to their acyclic isomers. Three-membered heterocycles generally have shorter C-C bonds than in cyclopropane (thiirane being an exception). The C-X-C bond angles (X = hetero-atom) in oxiranes and aziridines are very close to 60° and the peripheral H-C-H bond angles are near to 118°. In unsaturated three-membered heterocycles, the introduction of the double bond further enhances angle distortion and this inevitably increases the ring strain.
