Chapter 2, Problem 2.45P

Gibbs free energy differences between axial-substituted and equatorial-substituted chair conformations of cyclohexane were given in Table 2.4.

  1. (a) Calculate the ratio of equatorial to axial tert-butylcyclohexane at 25°C.
  2. (b) Explain why the conformational equilibria for methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl substituents are comparable but the conformational equilibrium for tert-butylcyclohexane lies considerably farther toward the equatorial conformation.
