Chapter 3: Q22P (page 176)

Draw 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexamethylcyclohexane with all the methyl groups

(a) in axial positions. (b) in equatorial positions.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)

(b)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

If we could freeze cyclohexane in a chair conformation, we would see that there are two different kinds of carbon鈥揾ydrogen bonds. Six of the bonds (one on each carbon atom) are directed up and down, parallel to the axis of the ring. These are called axial bonds. The other six bonds point out from the ring, along the 鈥渆quator鈥� of the ring. These are called equatorial bonds.

02

(a)

The axial bonds are drawn vertically to the ring connections for all methyl groups.

03

(b)

Equatorial bonds are drawn parallel to the ring connections for all methyl groups.

Write structures for a homologous series of alkyl chloridesR-Cl having from one to six carbons.

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.

(a) Draw both chair conformations of cis - 1,4 -dimethylcyclohexane and determine which conformer is more stable.

(b) Repeat for the trans isomer.

(c) Predict which isomer (cis or trans) is more stable.
  1. There are 18 isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C8H18. Draw and name any eight of them.
  2. Draw and name the six isomeric cyclopentane of molecular formula C7H14. These will include four constitutional isomers, of which two show geometric (cis-trans) stereoisomerism.

Using what you know about the conformational energetics of substituted cyclohexanes, predict which of the two 9-methyldecalinisomers is more stable. Explain your reasoning.
