- Following is a chair conformation of cyclohexane with the carbon atoms numbered 1 through 6. (a) Draw hydrogen atoms that are above the plane of the ring on carbons 1 and 2 and below the plane of the ring on carbon 4. (b) Which of these hydrogens are equatorial? Which are axial? (c) Draw the alternative chair conformation. Which hydrogens are equatorial? Which are axial? Which are above the plane of the ring? Which are below it?arrow_forwardDraw a chair comformation of cyclohexane with one CH3CH2 group and one CH3 group that fits each description:a). a 1,1-disubstituted cyclohexane with an axial CH3CH2 groupb). a cis-1,2-disubstituted cyclohexane with an axial CH3 groupc). a trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane with an equatorial CH3 groupd). a trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane with an equatorial CH3CH2 grouparrow_forwardDraw a chair conformation of cyclohexane with one CH3CH2 group and one CH3 group that ts each description.a. a 1,1-disubstituted cyclohexane with an axial CH3CH2 groupb. a cis-1,2-disubstituted cyclohexane with an axial CH3 groupc. a trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane with an equatorial CH3 groupd. a trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane with an equatorial CH3CH2 grouparrow_forward

- Make a model of cyclohexane and draw its shape. Comment on its bond angles and how easily the model fitted together. Draw the boat and chair conformations of cyclohexane. Which arrangement do you think is the most stable?arrow_forwardDraw the planar (Haworth) structure for cis-1-ethyl-2- methylcyclohexane. (b) Draw the two ring - flipped chair conformations. (c) Circle the more stable chair conformation (circle both if they are equal in energy). Draw the Haworth structure and the two ring-flipped conformations of 1, 2, 4- trimethylcyclohexane (Compound D) on the frames below, b) Circle the more stable chair conformation (circle both if they are equal in energy).

- There are four cis,trans isomers of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol:(a) Using a planar hexagon representation for the cyclohexane ring, draw structural formulas for the four cis,trans isomers.(b) Draw the more stable chair conformation for each of your answers in part (a).(c) Of the four cis,trans isomers, which is most stable? (Hint: If you answered thispart correctly, you picked the isomer found in nature and given the name menthol.)arrow_forwardHello, I was reading an answer from the book Organic Chemistry by Brown et al. The question is 2.51 "Draw alternative chair conformations for each substituted cyclohexane and state which chair is more stable." There are then 4 cyclohexanes (labeled a-d). For the "a" cyclohexane, the substituents are arranged as a combination of axial and equatorial in both chair conformations. However, for the "b," "c," and "d," cyclohexanes one chair has only equatorial substituents, and the other chair has only axial substituents. Why is the "a" chair conformation different? https://www.bartleby.com/solution-answer/chapter-2-problem-251p-organic-chemistry-8th-edition/9781305580350/draw-alternative-chair-conformations-for-each-substituted-cyclohexane-and-state-which-chair-is-more/4532cd91-c341-11e9-8385-02ee952b546earrow_forwardExplain the concept of Cyclohexane Conformations ?arrow_forward
