Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The two possible chair conformations for the cyclohexanol should be drawn and named every substituent as axial or equatorial and most stable conformer should be selected.
Concept introduction:
when the cyclohexanering converts from one chair conformation to another, the equatorial hydrogen atoms areconverted into axial hydrogen atoms and vice versa.
When the cyclohexane has one substituent then the conformation which contain the substituent in equatorial position is more stable due to less steric strain with axial hydrogen atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
The two possible chair conformations for the trans-3-methylcyclohexanol should be drawn and named every substituent as axial or equatorial and most stable conformer should be selected.
Concept introduction:
when the cyclohexane ring converts from one chair conformation to another, the equatorial hydrogen atoms are converted into axial hydrogen atoms and vice versa.
When the cyclohexane has one substituent then the conformation which contain the substituent in equatorial position is more stable due to less steric strain with axial hydrogen atoms.
When two substituents are present in the structure, in order to find the more stable conformation can be determined by looking at the groups in the axial position.
When a bulkier group present in the axial position, that conformation get less stable.

- Part II. two unbranched ketone have molecular formulla (C8H100). El-ms showed that both of them have a molecular ion peak at m/2 =128. However ketone (A) has a fragment peak at m/2 = 99 and 72 while ketone (B) snowed a fragment peak at m/2 = 113 and 58. 9) Propose the most plausible structures for both ketones b) Explain how you arrived at your conclusion by drawing the Structures of the distinguishing fragments for each ketone, including their fragmentation mechanisms.arrow_forwardPart V.

Technetium-99m is an especially interesting and valuable isotope as it emits a gamma ray with a half life ideally suited for medical tests. It would seem that the decay of technetium should fit the treatment above with the result In(c/c) = -kt. The table below includes data from the two sites: http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/druginfo.cfm?id=7130 http://wiki.medpedia.com/Clinical: Neutrospec_(Technetium_(99m Tc)_fanolesomab). a. b. C. Graph the fraction (c/c.) on the vertical axis versus the time on the horizontal axis. Also graph In(c/c.) on the vertical axis versus time on the horizontal axis. When half of the original amount of starting material has hours fraction remaining disappeared, c/c = ½ and the equation In(c/c.) = -kt becomes In(0.5) = -kt1/2 where t₁₂ is the half life (the time for half of the material to decay away). Determine the slope of your In(c/c.) vs t graph and…arrow_forward
