Chapter 7, Problem 10CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The axial methyl group should be circled for each given cyclohexane.

Concept introduction: In cyclohexane, all the six carbons are sp3 hybridized so, the expected angle for the connected atoms will be 109.5o . The most stable conformation of cyclohexane will be the one in which the ring or angle strain is negligible and thus, make the conformation stable. In chair conformation, all the atoms are positioned in the ring in such a way that they adopt this positioning and do not experience any angle or ring strain.

4. Circle any n-conjugated portions in the molecules below. Draw all resonance structures for each conjugated molecule. OCH3 H2C=CH-C=N CH3 CH2 H2C
Build a model of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane. Orient the model so that you are looking at the carbon with the arrow pointing to it in Figure 3. Align the bond to the next carbon in the chain so that it is directly behind the first carbon to match a Newman projection view. (See Figure MM.3 in the lab manual) Spin the carbons on either side of the bond you're looking down to cycle through all three staggered and all three eclipsed positions of the substituents. Draw all six positions as Newman projections on the data sheet and identify the position with the highest energy. Draw the six Newman projections of all of the different energy levels. Label each as staggered or eclipsed and rank in order from lowest energy to highest.
