1,2-ditert-butylcyclohexane is an interesting case of a conformational study. The cis isomer is more stable than the trans isomer, although the trans isomer presents a conformer with both substituents in equatorial positions. In order to analyze this fact:a. Draw the conformational equilibrium of both compounds. Explain using and drawing the structures why this difference happens (the one described above). b. In the trans isomer, the di-axial conformation is 25.9 kJ / mol more stable than the di-equatorial. Calculate the energy of the di-equatorial conformation.
Molecule C shown below contains a group called an allene. An allene has the structure of one central carbon being doubly bonded to two other carbons (C=C=C). Please draw out all of the p-orbitals that are involved in the pi-system for molecule C. b) The p-orbital on carbon 1 in molecule C are not in conjugation with the p-orbital on carbon 2 (ie the p- orbitals are not pointing in the same direction and there is no overlap). Why does this happen?

1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane shows cis,trans isomerism. At one time, a crude mixture of these isomers was sold as an insecticide. The insecticidal properties of the mixture arise from one isomer, known as lindane, which is cis-1,2,4,5-trans- 3,6-hexachlorocyclohexane. Q.) Using a planar hexagon representation for the cyclohexane ring, draw a structural formula for lindane.
