Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total number of σ bonds and the total number of π bonds in levomenol (Problem 3.34) is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Every single bond is a σ bond. Each double bond is composed of one π bond and one σ bond. Each triple bond is composed of two π bond and one σ bond.

It is not unexpected that the methoxyl substituent on a cyclohexane ring prefers to adopt the equatorial conformation. OMe H A G₂ = +0.6 kcal/mol OMe What is unexpected is that the closely related 2-methoxytetrahydropyran prefers the axial conformation: H H OMe OMe A Gp=-0.6 kcal/mol Methoxy: CH3O group Please be specific and clearly write the reason why this is observed. This effect that provides stabilization of the axial OCH 3 group in this molecule is called the anomeric effect. [Recall in the way of example, the staggered conformer of ethane is more stable than eclipsed owing to bonding MO interacting with anti-bonding MO...]
