The yield of this molecule is excellent when large excesses of zinc dust are added in a procedure named for Hass.

The seed oilfrom lychee and the phospholipid bilayer of E. coli are rich in fatty acids post-synthetically modfiiÂed to contain this molecule.The discoverer of this compound, who added sodium to facilitate an intermolecular Wurtz coupling, was August Freund. Re-2acting sulfur ylides with enones through the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction produces substituted derivatives of this molecule. Inthe preferred way to synthesize it, a methylene free radical intermediate formed from a organozinc carbenoid simultaneouslyreacts with both carbons of an alkene. This molecule is assumed to have sp2 hybridization in the Walsh model, contradictingthe earlier notion that its sp3 orbitals overlapped to form "banana bonds." This planar molecule, the product of the Simmons-Smith reaction, has high ring strain, since all of its bond angles are sixty degrees. For 10 points, name this smallest cycloalkane,which has chemical formula C3H6.
