Please state which conformation is most unstable, thank you
Reviewing for final, and confused on this question. Classify each conformation as staggered or eclipsed around the indicated bond, and rank the conformations in order of increasing stability?
Draw the most stable conformation of the molecule while taking into account the approximate values of the energies of the following skew interactions:
The structure of a trisubstituted cyclohexane is shown, but no information is given about whether the groups are "up" or "down": that is, wedge and dash notation has not been used. Change the exo-cyclic bonds to represent the structure that will have the most stable chair conformation.
Explain briefly and clearly the following concepts, taking as reference the molecule of n-butane and the corresponding drawings or illustrations. See pages 149-152 of the book Organic Chemistry, sixth edition (J. G. Smith). 4. What is steric hindrance in a conformation? Then draw a picture to illustrate the concept? 5. What is the torsional stress of a conformation? Then draw a picture to illustrate the concept? 6. Describe 1,3-diaxial interaction and illustrate with a specific example.
Discuss and compare two possible chair conformations of cis-1,3-dibromocyclohexane compound. Which conformation is more stable? Why? Explain the reason clearly.
How do you account for the difference in energies between the two staggered conformations of 1,2-dichloroethane? How about for the two eclipsed conformations? Draw all four conformations and, on your drawing, indicate sources of strain – torsional, steric (gauche), steric eclipsed.
Consider the molecule 1-bromo-2-methylbutane. C3 and C4 should be drawn as Et as in theexample. This group is called an ethyl group and can be considered a sphere about twice the sizeof a methyl group. Draw the following Newman projections sighting down the C1C2 bond... a. The lowest potential energy conformation. b. The highest potential energy staggered conformation.
Calculate the destabilization present in each eclipsed conformation.
Rank these conformations from least to most stable.
Among the figure, (a) what is the most stable conformation of n-pentane? (b) gauche conformation of butane and (c) least stable conformation of butane
Which of these is the most stable conformation?
