Chapter 5, Problem 40P
- a. The ΔG° for conversion of “axial” fluorocyclohexane to “equatorial” fluorocyclohexane at 25 °C is −0.25 kcal/mol. Calculate the percentage of fluorocyclohexane molecules that have the fluoro substituent in an equatorial position at equilibrium.
- b. Do the same calculation for isopropylcyclohexane (its ΔG ° value at 25 °C is −2.1 kcal/mol).
- c. Why is the percentage of molecules with the substituent in an equatorial position greater for isopropylcyclohexane?

- the axial–equatorial energy difference for methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl groups increases gradually: 7.6, 7.9, and 8.8 kJ>mol (1.8, 1.9, and 2.1 kcal>mol). The tert-butyl group jumps to an energy difference of 23 kJ>mol (5.4 kcal>mol), over twice the value for the isopropyl group. Draw pictures of the axial conformations of isopropylcyclohexane and tert-butylcyclohexane, and explain why the tert-butyl substituent experiences such a large increase in axial energy over the isopropyl grouparrow_forwardBenzene is one of the compounds used as octane enhancers in unleaded gasoline.

- When carbonyl compounds are reduced with a reagent such as LiAlH4 or NaBH4 and a new stereogenic center is formed, what will the composition of the product mixture be? Forms more of one enantiomer than another because of steric reasons around the carbonyl Forms more of one enantiomer than another depending on the temperature of the reaction Forms different products depending on the solvent used Forms a racemic mixture of the two possible enantiomersarrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE. Write T if True, F if False. 1. In numbering the longest chain, the first substituent should have the higher number. 2. Alphabetize the names of the substituents, ignoring all prefixes except iso, as in isopropyl and isobutyl. 3. A number is always designated to indicate the location of a single substituent in cyclohexane. 4. For rings with two different substituents, number the ring to assign the lower number to the substituents alphabetically. 5. In naming alkenes, the longest carbon chain is always used as the parent name. 6. Toluene is an IUPAC name. 7. A benzyl group differs from a phenyl group only by an extra CH2 group. 8. Naming of branched molecules depend on the type of C atom removed from the parent chain. 9. An unbranched alkane with a chain of 50 carbons is called pentacontane. 10.
