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 42.0 °C using the following equation: AG° = –RT In Keq The gas constant, R, is 8.314 J/K•mol. (Enter your answer to two significant figures.) Ratio: 100 to 1 Major Minor
