Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
- Consider 1-bromopropane, CH3CH2CH2Br. (a) Draw a Newman projection for the conformation in which CH3 and -Br are anti (dihedral angle 180°). (b) Draw Newman projections for the conformations in which - CH3 and -Br are gauche (dihedral angles 60° and 300°). (c) Which of these is the lowest energy conformation? (d) Which of these conformations, if any, are related by reflection?arrow_forwardFor each of the following disubstituted cyclohexanes, indicate whether the substituents in the two chair conformers will be both equatorial in one chair conformer and both axial in the other (A) or one equatorial and one axial in each of the chair conformers (B): Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.arrow_forwardDetermine the degree of unsaturation for each of the compounds shown below. (a) C9H11Cl5O2 b) C10H12Br2N4arrow_forward
- Which of the following compounds has a stereoisomer that is a meso compound? (I) 1,2- dibromocyclohexane, (II) 1,4-dibromocyclohexane, (III) 2,3-dibromobutane, (IV) 2,3-dimethylbutane, (V) 3,4-dimethylhexane. Recall that an achiral species is one that just contains an internal plane of symmetry. However, a meso compound has two or more asymmetric centers and an internal plane of symmetry. I only O l and II I and III I, III, and V O IV onlyarrow_forward3. Determine whether the following statements are true or false. Completely fill in the circle in front of your chosen answer. (a) A compound with a plane of symmetry must be achiral. (b) A compound with two or more stereocenters must be chiral. (a) O True O False True O Falsearrow_forwardQ2: If you think you know your definitions, try this difficult problem. (a) Draw all the stereoisomers of 2,3.4-tribromonentane, (Using Fischer projections may helpful.) You should find two meso structures and one pair of enantiomers. (b) Star (*) the asymmetric carbon atoms, and label each as (R) or (S). (c) In the meso structures, show how C3 is pot asymmetric, nor is it a chiral center, Yetn stereocenter. (d) In the enantiomers, show how C3 is not a stereocenter.arrow_forward
- Shown are three molecules A, B and C; only one of the molecules is chiral. Identify the chiral molecule (putting a circle around it suffices) and assign its absolute chirality. Draw the opposite enantiomer of the molecule that you have identified as chiral. A Barrow_forward(c) Draw the most likely conformations of the following compounds H and J and explain your reasoning. Ph OMe H Br OH CO₂Me Jarrow_forwardIn the previous problem, you saw that there were two chiral carbons in 4-bromo-3-hydroxypentanal. That molecule is drawn below with the chiral carbons circled. What is the maximum number of stereoisomers that can exist for this molecule? Can you help me, please? Can you explain to me?arrow_forward

(b) which is the most stable conformation of 1-bromo-2-ethylcyclohexane? (c) which is the least stable conformation of 1-bromo-2-ethylcyclohexane? (d) which is the more stable configuration of 1,3-dimethylcyclopentane? *Et = ethylarrow_forwardFollowing are the alternative chair conformations for trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane.(a) Estimate the difference in free energy between these two conformations.(b) Given your value in (a), calculate the percent of each chair present in anequilibrium mixture of the two at 25°C.arrow_forward
