Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given model of half chair conformation is to be examined from different points of view, and the different types of strains are to be noted. The site of strain and the types of strain are to be indicated. Why the half-chair conformation is so high in energy is to be justified.
Concept introduction:
Cyclohexane has no ring strain because it adopts a chair conformation in which all angles are about
The half-chair conformation in a chair flip is higher in energy than the chair conformation itself due to added ring strain.

- 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.arrow_forwardConsider the substituted cyclohexane shown in the ball-and-stick model. (See attached) Draw the second possible conformation in the chair form, and classifyit as more stable or less stable than the conformation shown in thethree-dimensional model ?arrow_forwardDraw the most stable conformation of the molecule while taking into account the approximate values of the energies of the following skew interactions:arrow_forward
- For the compounds below, draw both chair conformations.arrow_forwardDraw the Newmann projections of this molecule along the circled bond of this molecule, from the point of view of the eye. You should include and label the syn-periplanar, gauche, anticlinal and anti-periplanar conformations, and whether the conformation is staggered or eclipsed. List these four conformations from most stable to least stable?arrow_forwardWhich one of the conformations in the picture attached has ONLY steric strain?arrow_forward
- What is the total number of hydrogen in the conformation belowarrow_forwardPlease draw the two most stable conformations (chair conformatoin I beleive) and label the most stable one if possible.arrow_forwardAre my chair conformations correct? What about the energies of each conformation according to the table?arrow_forward
- Among the 2 chair flip conformations, one of them is more stable than other. Which one is it and why?arrow_forwardDraw the alternate conformation of the structure shown below.arrow_forwarda) Draw the following compound in topological structure (zig-zag) and name the conformation that is drawn: b) Determine if each of the following molecules is an enantiomer, a diastereoisomer, an isomer in constitution or identical to the molecule in (a) and which is drawn in the box. Solve all parts otherwise I will downvotearrow_forward
