Chapter 4: Q4-33E (page 114)

Draw 1, 3, 5-trimethyl cyclohexane using a hexagon to represent the ring. How many cis-trans stereoisomers are possible?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are two pairs of cis-trans stereoisomers are possible.

Step by step solution

01

Cis-trans stereoisomers

Stereoisomers are the isomers that have the same connectivity but difference in the spatial arrangement of atoms in space.

Cis and trans isomers are comes under the category of geometrical isomers. In cis isomerism both the groups lie on the same side or we can say that either both are above the plane or both are below the plane.

For trans isomers both the groups are lies opposite to each other or, we can say if one group is above the plane then the other is below the plane.

Cis-trans stereoisomers for 1, 3, 5-trimethyl cyclohexane

There are two pairs of cis-trans stereoisomers possible for 1, 3, 5-trimethylcyclohexane. They are as follow;

Prostaglandin F2伪, a hormone that causes uterine contraction during childbirth,has the following structure. Are the two hydroxyl groups (-OH)on thecyclopentane ring cis or trans to each other? What about the two carbon chainsattached to the ring?

Draw three isomers of trans-1, 2-dichlorocyclobutane, and label them as either constitutional isomers or stereoisomers.

Cis-decalin is less stable than trans-decalin. Assume that the 1,3-diaxial interactions in cis-decalin are similar to those in axial methylcyclohexane [that is, one CH 鈫�H interaction costs 3.8 kJ/mol (0.9 kcal/mol)], and calculate the magnitude of the energy difference between cis- and trans-decalin.

Why do you suppose an axial cyano (鈥揅N) substituent causes practically no 1,3-diaxial steric strain (0.4 kJ/mol)? Use molecular models to help with your answer.

cis-1, 2-Dimethylcyclobutane is less stable than its trans isomer, but cis-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane is more stable than its trans isomer. Draw the most stable conformations of both, and explain.
