It is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl groups be in for the most stable configuration.

a) Draw all Newman projections of your molecule's conformations in which the CH3 group and the H of the CHY2 group are positioned 'ANTI' to each other. Be sure to put in the correct X and Y atoms, bonded to the correct C atoms, for your molecule. X = FY=I Conformations = 60 deg and - 180 deg 60 deg dihedral angle = - 179.987 deg 180 deg · - dihedral angle = 179.814 deg

Create Newman projections depicting conformations along the carbon-carbon bond described above in the lowest energy staggered conformation, gauche conformation, and highest energy eclipsed conformation. Appropriately label these conformations Please draw each out separately and do not just draw arrows on the molecule. OH HO HO. ОН ОН
Rank the conformations of n-butane with reference to its potential energy from the most stable to the least stable. Rank from the most stable to the least stable. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
