Chapter 5, Problem 51P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stereocentre of the menthol needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: When a carbon atom is attached to the different groups that carbon atom is called stereocentre atom.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The number of stereoisomers of the menthol needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Stereoisomers are those types of isomers which have same molecularformulas, but the spacious arrangements of the groups are different.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structures of the stereoisomers of the menthol needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: The stereoisomers have the same molecular formulas, but the structure of each isomer is different. The groups arrangements are differ.

(a) Draw all stereoisomers formed by monobromination of the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane drawn below. (b) How do the products formed from each reactant compare-identical compounds, stereoisomers, or constitutional isomers? cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane trans-(1R.2S)-dimethylcyclohexane
4.(a). Draw the structures of (i) cis-1,4-Dibromocyclohexane and (ii) trans-1,4- Dibromocyclohexane. 4(b). Draw the most stable conformers of (i) cis-1,4-Dibromocyclohexane and (ii) trans-1,4-Dibromocyclohexane. 4(c)Which is more stable? (i) cis-1,4-Dibromocyclohexane or (ii) trans-1,4- Dibromolcyclohexane. Explain the reason for your choice.
4. (a) Draw a skeletal (line-bond) structure for 3,4-dimethylhexane. (b) Draw a sawhorse representation of any staggered conformation of this molecule looking down the carbon-3 to carbon-4 bond. (c) Draw a Newman projection looking down the carbon-3 to carbon-4 bond of the same conformation that you drew as a sawhorse representation.
