Table 3-6 shows that the axial-equatorial energy difference for methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl groups increases gradually: 7.6, 7.9 and 8.8 kJ/mol (1.8, 1.9, and 2.1 kcal/mol). The tert-butyl group jumps to an energy difference of 23 kJ/mol (5.4 kcal/mol), over twice the value for the isopropyl group. Draw pictures of the axial conformations of isopropylcyclohexane and tert-butylcyclohexane and explain why the tert-butyl substituent experiences such a large increase in axial energy over the isopropyl group.
Question: The heat of combustion of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane is larger than that of trans isomer. Which isomer is most stable? Use drawings to explain this difference in stability.
Question: All of the following names are incorrect or incomplete. In each case, draw the structure ( or a possible structure) and name it correctly
Draw a perspective representation of the most stable conformation of 3-methylhexane.
Draw the most stable conformation of
(a) cis - 1 - tert - butyl - 3 - ethylcyclohexane
(b) trans - 1 -tert- butyl - 2 - methylcyclohexane
(c) trans - 1 -tert - butyl - 3 - (1,1 - dimethylpropyl)cyclohexane
