Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The value of ΔG°for the equilibrium between the two chair conformations of 1-ethyl-1-methylcyclohexane is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:According to the position of methyl group and size of the molecules, the interaction between the hydrogen atoms differs, thus stability can be explained.
(b)
Interpretation:
The value of ΔG° for the equilibrium between the two chair conformations of cis-1-ethyl-4-methylcyclohexane is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The ethyl group is larger in size compared to methyl group, so according to the size difference and their conformation stability of the compound differs.
(c)
Interpretation:The value ofΔG° for the equilibrium between the two chair conformations of trans-1-ethyl-1-methylcyclohexane is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:The ethyl group is larger in size compared to methyl group, so according to the size difference and their conformation stability of the compound differs.
