  Isomerism
    1.0 Isomerism
    2.0 Structural Isomerism
    3.0 Tautomerism
    4.0 Geometrical isomerism in the compounds containing C=N
    5.0 Optical Isomerism
    6.0 Optical isomerism in compounds having more than one chiral carbons
    7.0 Optically active compounds having no asymmetric carbon

7.1 Alkylidene cyclo alkanes

The replacement of one double bond in an allene by a ring does not alter the basic geometry of the system and appropriately substituted compounds exist in optically active forms.


Related compounds in which $s{p^2} - $ carbon is replaced by nitrogen have also been obtained as optical isomers.
