Concept explainers
Interpretation:
When cyclohexane is substituted by an ethynyl group, the energy difference between axial and equatorial conformations is only
Concept Introduction:
The difference in strain energy between the axial and equatorial conformations can be calculated by the ratio at equilibrium using the equation of the Gibb’s free energy (
The terms in the above equation are explained as
The universal gas constant value is

- Compounds X and Y have the formula C6H12. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methylpentane. The heat of hydrogenation of X is less than that of Y. X and Y react with HBr to form a mixture of the same bromoalkanes, and they both undergo hydroboration/oxidation to give a mixture of the same alcohols. What is the structure of Y? • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. + ChemDoodlearrow_forwardCompounds X and Y are stereoisomers having the formula C6H12.Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form hexane, and they each react with HBr to give a single bromoalkane product.Draw structural formulas for both X and Y.arrow_forwardCompounds Y and Z both have the formula C₂H18. Both Y and Z react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form 2-methyloctane. The heat of hydrogenation of Y is less than that of Z.
