(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 4, Problem 31P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction: If the conformer shows the minimum steric hindrance of the substituent and minimum torsional strain then that conformer is in stable form.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: Trans-isomer has opposite attachment of all groups on the ring.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 4, Problem 31P , additional homework tip  3

Concept Introduction:All groups are situated in one side, it is cis-isomer. Stability is defined in terms of axial interactions.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 4, Problem 31P , additional homework tip  5

Concept Introduction:When groups are on one side then that isomer is cis-isomer.

(f)

(h)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

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.
The skeletal line formula for a branched alkene is shown below. (i) What is the molecular formula of this compound? (ii) How many carbon atoms are in the longest chain, ignoring the double bond? (iii) What is the longest chain incorporating both carbons of the double bond? (iv) How many substituents are on this chain? (v) Give the IUPAC name for this compound. [6]
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).
