Preferred Label : cycloalkanes;
IUPAC definition : Saturated monocyclic hydrocarbons (with or without side chains), e.g. cyclobutane.
Unsaturated monocyclic hydrocarbons having one endocyclic double or one triple bond
are called cycloalkenes and cycloalkynes, respectively. Those having more than one
such multiple bond are cycloalkadienes, cycloalkatrienes, etc. The inclusive terms
for any cyclic hydrocarbons having any number of such multiple bonds are cyclic olefins
or cyclic acetylenes.;
