Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Transition state

The imaginary short-lived state that exists between the reactants and products of a reaction i.e., a transition state partially exists as a reactant and partially as a product.

02

The transition state of reaction a

In the given reaction, the cleavage of the bond between the carbon and oxygen atom of the reactant species yields the products (the carbocation and water molecule).

The structure of the transition state in the given reaction is:

The transition state of reaction a

03

The transition state of reaction b

In the given reaction, the transition state involves the cleavage of the bond between the oxygen and hydrogen atom of the reactant (alcohol) and the formation of a bond between the hydrogen (from the alcohol) and the oxygen atom of the hydroxide group.

The structure of the transition state in the given reaction is:

The transition state of reaction b

As we learned in Chapter 4, monosubstituted cyclohexanes exist as an equilibrium mixture of two conformations having either an axial or equatorial substituent. When R=CH2CH3, Keqfor this process is 23. When R=C(CH3)3,Keqfor this process is 4000.

a. When , which conformation is present in higher concentration?

b. Which R shows the higher percentage of equatorial conformation at equilibrium?

c. Which R shows the higher percentage of axial conformation at equilibrium?

d. For which R is more negative?

e. How is the size of R related to the amount of axial and equatorial conformations at equilibrium?
