In addition to more highly fluorinated products, fluorination of 2-methylbutane yields a mixture of compounds with the formula C5H10F2. Draw the structures of all the isomers with the formula C5H10F2 that would be produced and label with a star all the chiral centers present in their structures.

(c) Draw a Newman projection looking down the carbon-3 to carbon-4 bond of the same conformation that you drew as a sawhorse representation.
Draw all three staggered conformations for the following compound, viewed along the C₂-C3 bond. Determine which conformation is the most stable, taking into account gauche interactions and hydrogen-bonding interactions. (J. Phys. Chem. A 2001, 105, 6991-6997) Provide a reason for your choice by identifying all of the interactions that led to your decision. H₂C OH C₂ HO CH3 Which of the following is the most stable staggered conformer? Me Me *** Conformer B Me- Me Conformer A Me Conformer C Me Conformer B because the anti OH groups avoid hydrogen bonding, which is a destabilizing effect. Conformer A because there are only two gauche interactions, and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. Conformer C because there is no steric strain for Me-OH gauche interactions and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. Conformer B because the large OH groups are anti to each other.
One of the isomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroxycyclohexane, called myo-Inositol, acts as a growth factor in both animals and microorganisms.

assign the stereochemical configuration of the selected tetrahedral carbon chiral centers (R, S or N (not a chiral center)) and the alkene (E, Z or N (not a stereocenter)) that are indicated by the arrows (note that you do not have to assign the configuration of every chiral center in the molecule). If the atom in question is not a chiral center or is not a stereocenter circle N for neither.

1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane shows cis,trans isomerism. At one time, a crude mixture of these isomers was sold as an insecticide. The insecticidal properties of the mixture arise from one isomer, known as lindane, which is cis-1,2,4,5-trans- 3,6-hexachlorocyclohexane. Q.) Using a planar hexagon representation for the cyclohexane ring, draw a structural formula for lindane.
1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.
