We have learned that isomers (molecules with the same molecular formula) can have different relationships, and these relationships can be made more clear by comparing IUPAC names. Constitutional isomers will differ in the main part of the name. Stereoisomers will differ only in the stereochemical prefix part of the name (cis/trans). Conformational isomers will actually have the same name, but different energies. Two structures that have the same names and the same energies are identical. What is the relationship between these two structures?

1,2-ditert-butylcyclohexane is an interesting case of a conformational study. The cis isomer is more stable than the trans isomer, although the trans isomer presents a conformer with both substituents in equatorial positions. In order to analyze this fact:a. Draw the conformational equilibrium of both compounds. Explain using and drawing the structures why this difference happens (the one described above). b. In the trans isomer, the di-axial conformation is 25.9 kJ / mol more stable than the di-equatorial. Calculate the energy of the di-equatorial conformation.
