Question

Evaluate the following statements as True or False about the following two molecules.
줫
2
A. 1 and 2 are the two chair conformations of the same molecule.
B. There is a 1,3-diaxial interaction in 2.
C. 1 has more strain than 2.
D. The two structures are stereoisomers.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given structures are:

1) 1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane.

2) 1,2,4-trimethylcyclohexane.

1,3-diaxial interactions: these are the steric interactions between two axial substituents on alternate positions of a cyclohexane ring. These substituents can be one methyl group and other H or both methyl group or some other alkyl groups.

stereoisomers : these are the isomers having same structural formula, same bonding and position of atoms but differ in orientations in space.
