Henze and Blair [2] have successfully derived algorithms for enumerating the number of constitutional isomers of aliphatic
compounds using alkyl radicals; however, the algorithms cannot be extended to enumerate constitutional isomers of cyclic compounds.
Similarly, Read [4] has advocated the use of alkyl biradicals to enumerate constitutional isomers of aliphatic compounds,
but not cyclic compounds. Apparently, the use of alkyl biradicals in the enumeration of constitutional isomers of cyclic compounds
has been neglected. In this communication, an algorithm using alkyl biradicals to enumerate the number of constitutional isomers
of cyclic compounds, namely alkylcyclopropanes, is described.
