- 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_forward(a) Draw in the curved arrows to show how A is converted to B in Step -1-. (b) Identify X, using the curved arrows drawn for Step -2-.arrow_forwardSight along the C2-C1 bond of 2-methylpropane (isobutane).(a) Draw a Newman projection of the most stable conformation.(b) Draw a Newman projection of the least stable conformation.(c) Make a graph of energy versus angle of rotation around the C2-C1 bond.(d) Assign relative values to the maxima and minima in your graph, given that an H↔H eclipsing interaction costs 4.0 kJ/mol and an H↔CH3 eclipsing interaction costs 6.0 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
- a. Draw trans-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclohexane in its lowest energy conformation. Choose a chair from the Templates toolbar at the bottom. Make sure it’s the appropriate chair, including any heteroatoms. Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate −CH3−CH3 or other groups. b. Draw the structure that corresponds with the name: isobutylcyclopentane.arrow_forwardConsider the substituted cyclohexane shown in the ball-and-stick model.a.Label the substituents on C1, C2, and C4 as axial or equatorial. b. Are the substituents on C1 and C2 cis or trans to each other? c.Are the substituents on C2 and C4 cis or trans to each other? d.Draw the second possible conformation in the chair form, and classify it as more stable or less stable than the conformation shown in the three-dimensional model.arrow_forwardConsider the substituted cyclohexane shown in the ball-and-stick model.a. Label the substituents on C1, C2, and C4 as axial or equatorial.b. Are the substituents on C1 and C2 cis or trans to each other?c. Are the substituents on C2 and C4 cis or trans to each other?d. Draw the second possible conformation in the chair form, and classify it as more stable or less stable than the conformation shown in the three-dimensional model.arrow_forward
- Consider the tricyclic structure B. (a) Label each substituent on the rings as axial or equatorial. (b) Draw B using chair conformations for each six-membered ring. (c) Label the atoms on the ring fusions (the carbons that join each set of two rings together) as cis or trans to each other.arrow_forwarda. Draw the chair 1 and 2 of Cis-1-Ethyl- 3-isopropylcyclohexane. b. Which one is more stable out of 1 or 2?arrow_forwardAssign the absolute configuration of all molecules. Draw the most stable conformer in Newman projects with respect to bond C2-C3; for both a) and b). Draw Fisher projections for all molecules.arrow_forward
- Complete the Newman projection below to draw the most stable conformation of 3-methylpentane, looking down the C2-C3 bond. Identify each substituent using "H" for hydrogen and "Me" for methyl. a= b= c= d=arrow_forwarda. For each disubstituted cyclohexane below, draw its ring-flip isomer. Circle the most stable conformation and label the substituent groups as axial or equatorial. ( see image) b.Draw and name the seven constitutional isomers (all contain a ring of some size) for cycloalkane, C6H12.arrow_forwardDraw the bond-line formula of 3,4-dimethylhexane. Is geometric isomerism observed in 3,4-dimethylhexane? What structural features must be present for stereoisomers to exist? (4 marks) (b) (1) Using Fischer projection, draw all the stereoisomers of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypentanoic acid. (4 marks) (ii) Assign the chiral centre(s) with R/S configurations in part (b)(i). Indicate which are enantiomers, diastereomers and meso compounds (if any).arrow_forward
