Question: Draw a graph, similar to Figure 3-9, of the torsional strain of as it rotates about the bond between and . Show the dihedral angle and draw a Newman projection for each staggered and eclipsed conformation.
(a) Draw the two chair conformations of , 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 aboutper 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 thediaxial interaction?
In each pair of compounds, which compound has the higher boiling point? Explain your reasoning.
(a) Nonane or 3-methylheptane
(b) Octane or 2,3,4-trimethylpentane
(c) 2,3,5-trimethylhexane or nonane
List each set of compounds in order of increasing boiling point.
(a) hexane, octane, and decane
(b) octane, (CH3)3C-C(CH3)3, and CH3CH2C(CH3)2CH2CH2CH3
Question: Using the general formula for alkanes
