Chapter 4.1, Problem 4.1E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Molecular models of cyclopropanethrough cyclododecaneneed to be drawn. Also, the comparison of their conformational flexibility needs to be done.
Concept introduction:Molecular models are determined through determining the bond angles of the cyclic compounds with n number of C atoms. Equation for the same is represented as follows:

- 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.arrow_forwardWhen cyclopropane is treated with HI, 1-iodopropane is formed.
