They had reacted a conjugated diene with a simple alkene to generate a cycloalkane. |

Cyclopropane is the only cycloalkane that is planar. |

The solvent may be a hydrocarbon solvent, such as hexane, propane, isobutene, or cycloalkane. |
|
Analyses of the intertidal sediments in 1973 showed clearly the mixture of cycloalkane compounds in concentrations as high as 2 milligrams per gram. |

Cycloalkane chains are much harder to break apart than petroleum's shoe-stringlike molecules, Andresen says. |
