Question
Chapter 12, Problem 40P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures of two different tetra methyl derivatives of cyclooctatetraene with methyl groups on four adjacent carbon atoms are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Cyclooctatetraene is nonplanar with four short and four long carbon-carbon bond distances.
Cyclooctatetraene is a tub-shaped eight-membered ring having a single Lewis structure having alternating single and double bonds.
Because of its nonplanar structure, there is no possibility of the

The major product of the following reaction exists as two stereoisomers. Draw both isomers: show all hydrogen atoms in the structures. Use wedge and dash bonds to indicate the stereochemistry (you don’t need to draw wedge and dash bonds for C-H bonds of CH3 and CH2 groups). Assign stereo configuration of the asymmetric carbon atoms and write the relationship between two isomers.
Write a conformational structure for 1,2,3-trimethylcyclohexane in which all the methyl groups are axial and then show its more stable conformation.
It is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it
that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the
molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D
configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl
groups be in for the most stable configuration.
