Consider the following heterocycles (I - III)Which adhere to the rules of aromaticity?

Question

Let’s analyze each heterocycle with the aromaticity criteria in mind: a cyclic, planar, fully conjugated system with a π-electron count that follows Huckel’s rule (4n + 2 π electrons).

Option a. I only
- For I: The fused bicyclic structure presents a continuous conjugated pathway around the periphery, with heteroatoms N contributing lone pairs to maintain conjugation. Counting the π electrons in the conjugated loop gives a 10 π-electron system (which corresponds to n = 2 in Huckel’s rule). A 10 π-electron cyclic system is aromatic, provided planarity is maintained and there is uninterrupted conjugation around the ring. Therefore, I adheres to aromaticity.

Option b. II only
- For II: Although it contains a nitrogen atom and a heterocycle, the ring appears to include a saturated portion (a non-conjugated section) or a non-planar arrangement that interrupts continuous p-orbital overlap. Without full cyclic conjugation around a single loop, it cannot satisfy the requirements for aromaticity. Thus II is not aromatic.

Option c. III only
- For III: The six-membered ring contains an amide-type N–H conjugated to an adjacent heteroatom, but the lone pair on the N adjacent to the carbonyl (or imide-type environment) is typically not in the π system due to resonance that isolates it from the ring’s π network. This breaks the continuous cyclic conjugation needed for aromaticity. Hence III is not aromatic.

Option d. I and II
- If II were aromatic, it would require uninterrupted ring conjugation and a 4n + 2 π-electron count. Since II fails the continuity of conjugation, the pair cannot both be aromatic.

Option e. I and III
- Given the analysis, III is not aromatic. Therefore this combination is incorrect.

Option f. None
- I is aromatic, so this option is false.

Option g. II and III
- Both II and III would need aromatic character, but both fail the criteria for continuous conjugation and the appropriate π count. Therefore this is incorrect.

Option h. I, II and III
- Since II and III are not aromatic, this broad statement is false.
