(a) H

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from butane should be determined.

Concept introduction: The carbon linked to one alkyl/carbon while other three are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl/carbons and two H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and one H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from pentane should be determined.

Concept introduction:The carbon linked to one alkyl/carbon while other three H are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl/carbons and two H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and one H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from 3methylpentane should be determined.

Concept introduction:The carbon linked to one alkyl/carbon while other three H are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl/carbons and two H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and one H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from 1methylcyclopentane should be determined.

Concept introduction: The carbon linked to one alkyl / carbon while other two H are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl /carbons and one H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and no H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

The energy difference between a tert-butyl group going from equatorial to axial in a cyclohexane is 18.3 kJ/mol. When two of the carbon atoms are replaced with oxygen atoms (molecule B) the energy difference between the two chair conformations drops to 5.9 kJ/mol. Explain this difference. (Hint: Consider what makes putting groups axial unfavorable).
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.
4.) For each of the following pairs, give the relationship between the two compounds. You many ignore conformational isomerism here, and any conformers may be considered to be identical compounds.
