Question:
Which of the following compound in its anionic form is aromatic.
Which of the following compound in its anionic form is aromatic.
Show Hint
Aromaticity is confirmed using Hückel's rule: a planar, cyclic molecule with (4n+2) $\pi$ electrons.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The anion formed from option (a) has 6 $\pi$ electrons in a cyclic, planar, and conjugated system, satisfying Hückel's rule (4n+2). Thus, it is aromatic.
