Chapter 7.5, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction

a) -CH3, -OH, -H, -Cl

Interpretation:

The substituents in the set, -CH3, -OH, -H, -Cl, are to be ranked according to the sequence rules.

Concept introduction:

The member that ranks higher can be determined by considering the atomic number of the first atom in each substituent. The atom with highest atomic number gets the higher rank. If a decision cannot be made by considering the atomic number of the first atom in each substituent then the second, third, fourth atoms can be considered until the first difference is found. Multiple bonded atoms are considered as equivalent to the same number of single bonded atoms.

To rank:

The substituents in the set, -CH3, -OH, -H, -Cl, according to the sequence rules.

Interpretation Introduction

b) -CH3, -CH2CH3, -CH=CH2, -CH2OH

Interpretation:

The substituents in the set, -CH3, -CH2CH3, -CH=CH2, -CH2OH, are to be ranked according to the sequence rules.

Concept introduction:

The member that ranks higher can be determined by considering the atomic number of the first atom in each substituent. The atom with highest atomic number gets the higher rank. If a decision cannot be made by considering the atomic number of the first atom in each substituent then the second, third, fourth atoms can be considered until the first difference is found. Multiple bonded atoms are considered as equivalent to the same number of single bonded atoms.

To rank:

The substituents in the set, -CH3, -CH2CH3, -CH=CH2, -CH2OH, according to the sequence rules.

Rank the following groups in order of decreasing priority. −CH=CH2, −CH3, −C≡CH, −H
Which of the following groups has the highest priority according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence rules?   a. CH2Cl   b. CHO   c. CH2OH   d. CH3
(A)Menthol, used to flavor various foods and tobacco, is the most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol. Draw its most stable conformation. Is the hydroxyl group cis or trans to the isopropyl group? To the methyl group? (b) Neomenthol is a stereoisomer of menthol. That is, it has the same constitution but differs in the arrangement of its atoms in space. Neomenthol is the second most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5methylcyclohexanol; it is less stable than menthol but more stable than any other stereoisomer. Write the structure of neomenthol in its most stable conformation.
