Interpretation:
When cyclohexane is substituted by an ethynyl group, the energy difference between axial and equatorial conformations is only 1.7kJ(0.41kcal)/mol. The conformational equilibrium for methyl cyclohexane with that of ethynyl cyclohexane has to be compared and the difference between the two structures has to be accounted.
Concept Introduction:
The difference in strain energy between the axial and equatorial conformations can be calculated by the ratio at equilibrium using the equation of the Gibb’s free energy (ΔG0). The equation can be given as
ΔG0= -RT ln Keq
The terms in the above equation are explained as
ΔG0 = Gibb’s free energy at equilibrium
R = Universal gas constant
T = Temperature (in Kelvins)
Keq = Equilibrium constant
The universal gas constant value is 8.314 J.K-1.mol-1 or 1.987 cal.K-1.mol-1. The value of temperature in kelvin is 00C = 273K.
