Interpretation:
The eight diastereomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane has to be drawn and the reason has to be explained for One isomer loses HCl in an E2 reaction nearly 1000 times more slowly than the others.
Concept introduction:
Conformations: Rotation about C-C single bonds allows a compound to adopt a variety of possible three-dimensional shapes.
Drawing Axial and Equatorial substituents:
Each carbon in cyclohexane can bear two substituents. One group is said to occupy an axial position, which is parallel to a vertical axis passing through the center of the ring. the other group is said to occupy an equatorial position, which is positioned approximately along the equator of the ring.
E2 elimination:

- Ketones react with alcohols to yield products called acetals. Why does the all-cis isomer of 4-tert-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol react readily with acetone and an acid catalyst to form an acetal, but other stereoisomers do not react? In formulating your answer, draw the more stable chair conformations of all four stereoisomers and the product acetal for each one.arrow_forwardPlease predict the products for each of the following reactions. *HBr in red* Clearly show the regiochemistry (Markovnikov vs anti-Markovnikov) and stereochemistry (syn- vs anti- or both). If a mixture of enantiomers is formed, please draw all the enantiomers. Choose an answer: A, B, C, or Darrow_forwardGiven that the free energy of the twist-boat conformer of cyclohexane is 5.3 kcal/mol greater than that of the chair conformer, calculate the percentage of twist-boat conformers present in a sample of cyclohexane at 25 °C.arrow_forward
- We saw that the energy cost of an axial methyl is 1.8 kcal/mol; therefore, we might expect cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane to have chair conformations with a difference in totalenergy of 3.6 kcal/mol. 1. Is the calculated energy difference in cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane higher or lower than expected? Propose an explanation for the difference between the expected energy difference and the calculated energy difference in cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane. (Limit your answer to 10 words or fewer) 2. Recall that an axial methyl is typically worth around 1.8 kcal/mol. Propose an explanation for the difference in the value above for 1-methyltetrahydropyran. (Limit your answer to 10 words or less) 3. Would you expect the difference in strain energy between the chairs of 5-methyl-1,3-dioxane to be greater than or less than that of 1-methyltetrahydropyran?

(a) Draw the product(s) of bromination of this compound, including all expected stereoisomers (if any).

Estimate the relative stabilities of the 4 conformationseclipsed and eclipsed n-pentane by drawing the corresponding Newman projections in descending order according to their stability.
