Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structural formulas for the cis and trans isomers of hydrindane has to be drawn in its most stable conformation and among the two drawn isomers, the more stable isomer has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Cis, Trans Isomerism in Cycloalkanes:
When a cycloalkane ring has substituents on two or more carbon atoms, then the cycloalkane ring show a type of stereoisomerism called cis, trans isomerism.
Cis, trans isomers have same molecular formula and same connectivity of their atoms, but the arrangement of atoms in space would be different which be interconverted by rotation about single bonds.
In cis isomer, the substituents are on the same side of the ring.
In trans isomer, the substituents are on the opposite sides of the ring.
Bicycloalkane:
Bicycloalkanes are cycloalkane with two rings that are shared by two carbon atoms. The shared carbon atoms are called bridgehead carbons and the carbon chain connecting them is called a bridge.

- Only three stereoisomers are possible for 2,3-dibromo-2, 3-dichlorobutane. Draw them, indicating which pair are enantiomers (optical isomers). Why does the other isomer not have an enantiomer?arrow_forwardThe energy difference between a tert-butyl group going from equatorial to axial in a cyclohexane is 18.3 kJ/mol. When two of the carbon atoms are replaced with oxygen atoms (molecule B) the energy difference between the two chair conformations drops to 5.9 kJ/mol. Explain this difference. (Hint: Consider what makes putting groups axial unfavorable).arrow_forwardDraw the line bond structures for the following alkenes, cyclic alkenes, and alkynes: Can you explain to me about this part A) noncyclic alkenes that contain 4 carbon atoms (3 possible), please? Can you explain to me about this part B) cyclic alkenes that contain 4 carbon atoms (4 possible), please? Can you explain to me about this part C) alkynes that contain 4 carbon atoms (2 possible, neither of them is a cyclic alkyne), please?arrow_forward
- sketch the various conformational isomers of 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane. Indicate the position (axial/equatorial) of each of the methyl groups in each structure.arrow_forwardAs we learned in Chapter 4, monosubstituted cyclohexanes exist as an equilibrium mixture of two conformations having either an axial or equatorial substituent. When R = CH2CH3, Keq for this process is 23.When R = C(CH3)3, Keq for this process is 4000. a.When R = CH2CH3, which conformation is present in higher concentration? b.Which R shows the higher percentage of equatorial conformation at equilibrium? c. Which R shows the higher percentage of axial conformation at equilibrium? d. For which R is ΔGo more negative? e.How is the size of R related to the amount of axial and equatorial conformations at equilibrium?arrow_forwardPyrethrins, such as jasmolin II (shown below), are a group of natural compounds that are synthesized by flowers of the genus Chrysanthemum (known as pyrethrum flowers) to act as insecticides.

- When cyclopropane is treated with HI, 1-idopropane is formed. A similar type of reaction does not occur with cyclopentene or Cyclohexane. Suggest an explanation for cyclopropane’s reactivity.arrow_forwardReplace one of the H atoms in the ethane model with a Br atom, to form ethyl bromide CH3CH2Br, and draw a projection (lewis) and a perspective drawing. Does replacing different hydrogen atoms in CH3CH3 to produce Ch3CH2br give you different isomers? (i.e. Are all the hydrogen atoms equivalent?) How many isomers of CH3CH2Br can you construct? Make a model of one other conformer of CH3CH2Br. DId you need to break any bonds to form the second conformer from the first?arrow_forwardFor each of the following pairs, give the relationship between the two compounds. You many ignore conformational isomerism here, and any conformers may be considered to be identical compounds.arrow_forward
- Draw the skeletal (bond-line) structures of all isomers of C4H8O (including configurational isomers) that contain an alkene and an ether. There should be 5 structures.arrow_forwardCompounds X and Y are stereoisomers having the formula C6H12.Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form hexane, and they each react with HBr to give a single bromoalkane product.Draw structural formulas for both X and Y.arrow_forwardWrite the energy diagram corresponding to each conformer by writing the conformers (and Newman projection formulas) formed by the rotation of the bond between the carbon 3 and 4 (C3 and C4) of the 2-methylpentane.
