10.3 Although triple bonds have linear geometry, they do have some flexibility and can be incorporated in large rings. Cycloalkynes containing more than eight car- bon atoms have been isolated and are stable at room temperature. When naming cycloalkynes that lack any other functional groups, the triple bond does not require a locant, because it is assumed to be between C1 and C2. Draw the structure of (R)-3-methylcyclononyne.
