Question

The ∆G° for a substituent moving from the equatorial to the axial position in a chair–chair interconversion is the A value of a substituent on a cyclohexane ring. A value is a positive number because most substituents prefer to be in the equatorial position. Calculate the ∆G° and K_eq for the following chair–chair interconversions using the given A values.

Accepted Answer

∆G° = −1.75 kcal/mol; K_eq = 19

Answer

∆G° = −0.75 kcal/mol; K_eq = 10

Answer

∆G° = 1.75 kcal/mol; K_eq = 0.52

Answer

∆G° = 1.70 kcal/mol; K_eq = 0.25
