Draw chair configuration of cis-1,3-dimthylcyclohexane and its alternate chair. conformation shown above. ii. Of the two chair conformation, which is more stable? Explain:. iii. Draw chair configuration of trans-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane and its alternate chair, conformation shown above. iv. Of the two chair conformation, which is more stable? Explain. v. Which is more stable overall, cis or trans form?
For the 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane stereoisomers, which conformation of the trans stereoisomer has the lower energy, the diaxial or the diequatorial conformer? Which isomer and conformation of the three you built has the lowest energy? E of all the isomers of 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane. Explain the differences in energy, i.e., identify the sources of strain in the conformations you built. Show the sources of strain in a drawing.
