Question

Regarding the ease of ring formation (cyclization) in intra-molecular organic reactions, which of the following is true?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Although highly strained (thermodynamically unfavored), 3-membered rings form rapidly because the required atoms (1st and 3rd) are close in proximity, providing a high probability of collision in the proper orientation (kinetically favored).
