The heats of hydrogenation of cycloheptene and 1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene are 110 kJ/mol (26.3 kcal/mol) and 305 kJ/mol (73.0 kcal/mol), respectively. In both cases cycloheptane is the product. What is the resonance energy of 1, 3, 5-cycloheptatriene? How does it compare with the resonance energy of benzene?
