- There are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forwardDraw the most stable conformation of pentane, using wedges and dashes to represent bonds coming out of the paper and going behind the paper, respectively.arrow_forwardFor trans‑1‑ethyl‑4‑isopropylcyclohexane, which structures represent the possible boat conformations?arrow_forward
- Draw structural formulas for the cis and trans isomers of hydrindane. Show each ring in its most stable conformation. Which of these isomers is more stable?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the following molecules, for which the name is given. 1. most stable conformation of 1,1-dichloro-2-bromoethane 2. N,N-Dimethylacetamide 3. cyclooctatetraene 4. bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane 5. spiro[2.4]heptanearrow_forwardConstruct the chair structures with the molecular models for trans-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane. Find the energy of each conformer, the equilibrium constant Keq, and the percentage of each conformer at 25oC. Indicate which conformer is more stable.arrow_forward
- 3,4-Dimethylpent-1-ene has the formula CH2“CH¬CH(CH3)¬CH(CH3)2. When pure (R)-3,4-dimethylpent-1-ene is treated with hydrogen over a platinum catalyst, the product is (S)-2,3-dimethylpentane. The reactant is named (R), but the product is named (S). Does this name change imply a change in the spatial arrangement of the groups around the chiral center? So why does the name switch from (R) to (S)?arrow_forwardTrue or false Since the energy of the C-H bond is 416 kj/mol and the energy of the C=0rs bond is 678.5Kj/mol, it can be inferred that methanal is more reactive than methane.arrow_forwardThe sex attractant of the female tiger moth is an alkane of molecular formula C 18H 38. Is this molecule an acyclic alkane or a cycloalkane?arrow_forward
