Textbook QuestionDraw the conformers for the following trisubstituted cyclohexane. Calculate the strain energy of each conformer. (The gauche interaction between a methyl and an ethyl group is 0.96 kcal/mol; the 1,3-diaxial interaction between a methyl and an H is 0.87 kcal/mol and between an ethyl and an H is 1.00 kcal/mol.)355views
Textbook QuestionGiven that the free energy of the twist-boat conformer of cyclohexane is 5.3 kcal/mol greater than that of the chair conformer, calculate the percentage of twist-boat conformers present in a sample of cyclohexane at 25 °C. Does your answer agree with the statement made in Section 3.13 about the relative number of molecules in these two conformations?392views
Textbook Questiona. Draw the two chair conformations of cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane, and label all the positions as axial or equatorial.b. Label the higher-energy conformation and the lower-energy conformation.c. The energy difference in these two conformations has been measured to be about 23 kJ (5.4 kcal) per mole. How much of this energy difference is due to the torsional energy of gauche relationships?d. How much energy is due to the additional steric strain of the 1,3-diaxial interaction?473views
Textbook QuestionThe chair conformer of fluorocyclohexane is 0.25 kcal/mol more stable when the fluoro substituent is in an equatorial position than when it is in an axial position. How much more stable is the anti conformer than a gauche conformer of 1-fluoropropane, considering rotation about the C1−C2 bond?1528views
