Aromaticity
why is the correct answer: (c)? The compound has an sp3 carbon which means it is not planar, goes against the rules of aromaticity, doesn't it?

@Enamine could u pls confirm
i feel c is non aromatic too.. but i dunno

@ns
It's a special case where in continuous ring current and flattened ring causes aromaticity even though a carbon interrupts in between
oh..
i didn't know about this
i thought it's just like aromaticity in general
okay, i got it
thanks so much
Not a problem
It's an overkill for jee anyways dw
Same thing if that sp3 vala carbon is replaced by something else, then it's heteroaromaticity
thank you so much guys 🙏
