What is the name of the aromatic compound in the given figure?

The correct option is Tropone.

Explanation:

Tropone (also known as 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one) is a non-benzenoid aromatic organic compound.

It consists of a seven-membered carbon ring containing three conjugated double bonds and a carbonyl group ($\text{C}=\text{O}$).

Aromatic Character of Tropone:

The carbonyl group is highly polarized due to the higher electronegativity of oxygen compared to carbon, giving a resonance structure with a positive charge on the carbon atom and a negative charge on the oxygen atom (${\text{C}}^{+}-{\text{O}}^{-}$).

This leaves a cycloheptatrienyl cation (tropylium ion) ring system containing 6 $\pi$-electrons in a continuous planar cyclic array.

According to Huckel's rule, a cyclic, planar, fully conjugated system with $4n+2$ $\pi$-electrons (where $n=1$ for 6 $\pi$-electrons) is aromatic. Therefore, tropone exhibits aromatic stability.
