On a separate sheet of paper, draw the two alternative chair conformations for the product formed by the addition of bromine to 4-tert-butylcyclohexene. The Gibbs free-energy differences between equatorial and axial substituents on a cyclohexane ring are 21 kJ/mol for tert-butyl, and 2.3 kJ/mol for bromine. Calculate the ratio of the two observed products at 46.0 °C using the following equation: AG-RT ln Keq The gas constant, R, is 8.314 J/K-mol. (Enter your answer to two significant figures.) Ratio: Major to 1 Minor

Tert-butylcyclohexane exists practically (> 99.99%) in a single conformational form. Represent in perspective the most stable conformer of trans-4 isopropylcyclohexan-1-ol.
2. Our knowledge of chair conformations allows us to use them to determine a great deal about a reaction's mechanism. In particular, using a t-butyl group to 'fix' a cyclohexane in a single conformation can help us learn about the spatial requirements and energetics of a reaction. Consider the following two reaction products: a. NO NID ALOH 1) NaCN 2) H+ 1) NaBH4 2) H3O+ OH Group -H -CN -OH A Value (kcal/mol) Defined as 0 0.2 kcal/mol 1.0 kcal/mol Draw the most stable chair conformation for each of the two products. b. Based on the A values in the table above, do the two products have the most stable conformation at the new stereocenter?
