Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of methylcyclobutane needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The eclipsing strain is due to the nonbonding interactions of the groups and atoms. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(b)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of cis-1, 2-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(c)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of trans-1, 2-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(d)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of cis-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
(e)
Interpretation : Puckered conformation of trans-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane needs to be drawn. Also, the stability of cis and trans 1,2dimethylcyclobutane and cis and trans 1,3dimethylcylobutane needs to be compared.
Concept Introduction : In cyclobutane, number of eclipsing strains is present. To remove these strains one carbon atom goes out of the plane and the molecules starts bending or puckering. The molecules can be stabilized when it will remove eclipsing strain.
The conformers have the same molecular formula, but the spacious arrangements of the groups are different.

- Increased substitution around a bond leads to increased strain. Take the four substituted butanes listed below, for example. For each compound, sight along the C2-C3 bond and draw Newman projections of the most stable and least stable conformations. Use the data in Table 3-5 to assign strain-energy values to each conformation. Which of the eight conformations is most strained? Which is least strained?

Which of the following carbocations is the least stable one? 13. The heats of complete hydrogenation of the following three hydrocarbons are 105, 116, 275 and 292 (in kJ/mol). Which hydrocarbon does feature the heat of hydrogenation of 292 kJ/mol?arrow_forward1. Consider the following reaction - Dehydrogenation of Methyl Cyclohexane (MCH) to Toluene (TOL) using a Precious Metal (Pt) supported on Alumina. CH3 CH3 2 () + 3 H₂ Typically, hydrogenation of a cyclo-alkane, like MCH, occurs in 3 or more stages, where one bond is dehydrogenated per stage, eventually resulting in the dehydrogenation of 3 bonds. Strong adsorption of MCH is likely to occur, but the adsorption of hydrogen (either as a molecule on a single site OR as an atom on a single site) is unclear. Therefore, in this question, two types of reaction mechanisms are to be considered, as discussed below: (a) You are to first propose a reaction mechanism which includes adsorption, surface reaction, and desorption. For each of the following cases, please write down a full set of elementary reaction mechanisms.
