Moufang loops; RA loops; alternative rings; minimal nonassociativity
Summary:
We investigate finite Moufang loops with a unique nonidentity commutator which are not associative, but all of whose proper subloops are associative. Curiously, perhaps, such loops turn out to be ``ring alternative'', in the sense that their loop rings are alternative rings.
