Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The relative stabilities of 1,2-disubstituted cyclobutanes and 1,3-disubstituted cyclobutanes are to be judged.
Concept introduction:
The compounds that have the same molecular formula of atoms but the structure of the compounds are different for the positions of atoms are called isomers.
In double bond or cyclic compounds, if the same two
If the two functional groups are present on the different sides of the double bond or cyclic compound, the given compound can be labeled as Trans.
Cis-trans isomerism exists in the compounds in which similar groups are present on the adjacent carbon atoms.
The trans are more stable than cis due to the more steric hindrance of cis.
Bulkier group acquires equatorial positions to form stable conformer due to steric factors.

- 2. Draw structures for the following systems. If more than one isomer is possible, draw strcutures for all the possible isomers. Benzene ring with a methyl group and a nitro group (Draw all possible isomers, and name them) Benzene ring connected to a heptane chain (Draw all possible isomers, and name them) 2-benzyl-3- methylbutan-1-olarrow_forwardCyclopropane and cyclobutane have similar strain energy despite the fact that the C—C—C bond angles of cyclopropane are much smaller than those of cyclobutane. Suggest an explanation for this observation, considering all sources of strainarrow_forwardThe heat of combustion of either but-1-yne or but-2-yne is -2577 kJ/mol (-615.9 kcal/mol), whereas the other's is -2597 kJ/mol (-620.7 kcal/mol).

- A structure with the formula C7H14O must be drawn that contains one stereocenter, an alcohol, and a disubstituted alkene including what the IUPAC name is for this compound. Dashes/wedges should be used to show which enantiomer is being drawn. In addition, what is the enantiomer drawing and IUPAC name of this compound, as well as the diastereomer of this compound and IUPAC name?arrow_forwardDraw and name using the IUPAC system all the constitutional isomers (thiols and sulfides) having molecular formula C4H10S. Classify each ether compound as symmetric or unsymmetric.arrow_forwardI need an explantion for this question. Thank youWhich of the following substituted cyclohexane compounds shows 1, 3 – diaxial interaction for both of its chair conformation (chair and flipped chair)? I recommend drawing the structures and working the conformational analysis. Selected Answer: cis-1, 3 – dichlorocyclohexane Correct Answer: cis-1, 2 - dichlorocyclohexanehsnsarrow_forward
- Draw the structural formulas and give IUPAC names for all the alkenes of molecular formula C6H12that contain trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted double bonds. Include stereoisomers where appropriate.arrow_forward4. Draw the most and least stable conformations of the following substituted cyclohexanes in the chair format (excluding transient conformations like half chair, twist boat and boat). Br BL Br Brarrow_forwardDraw all three staggered conformations for the following compound, viewed along the C₂-C3 bond. Determine which conformation is the most stable, taking into account gauche interactions and hydrogen-bonding interactions. (J. Phys. Chem. A 2001, 105, 6991-6997) Provide a reason for your choice by identifying all of the interactions that led to your decision. H₂C OH C₂ HO CH3 Which of the following is the most stable staggered conformer? Me Me *** Conformer B Me- Me Conformer A Me Conformer C Me Conformer B because the anti OH groups avoid hydrogen bonding, which is a destabilizing effect. Conformer A because there are only two gauche interactions, and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. Conformer C because there is no steric strain for Me-OH gauche interactions and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. Conformer B because the large OH groups are anti to each other.arrow_forward
- Cyclohexane derivatives exist primarily in the most stable of the available chair conformations. Give the position, axial or equatorial, of each of the three groups shown when the ring is in the most stable chair conformation. If a group divides its time equally between axial and equatorial positions, indicate this with ax/eq. The table of "Axial Strain Energies for Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes" found in the "Strain Energy Increments" section of the Reference tool is useful for answering this question. CO₂H HI!!!!
