Question
In intra-molecular cyclization reactions (1,n-elimination), which ring size forms the fastest under kinetic control?
Answer: A
💡 Solution & Explanation
Three-membered rings form the fastest due to the high proximity of the reacting ends (high collision frequency), even though they are thermodynamically highly strained.
