Question
Chapter 3, Problem 65P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The most stable conformer of the given molecule has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Conformers: The different spatial arrangements of the atoms the result from rotation about a single bond is called conformational isomers.
Stereoisomerism (or) geometric isomerism: It is known as cis-trans isomerism or E-Z isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism the each of two or more chemical compounds having the same molecular formula but a different geometric arrangement; an unsaturated compound or ring compound in which rotation around a carbon bond is restricted, as in (cis) and (trans) configurations know as geometric isomerism.
Relative stability of cyclohexane: The most stable conformation of cyclohexane is the chair shown to the right, the respective carbon (-C-C-) bonds are it close to (109.50), it is almost free of angle strain, it is also a fully staggered conformation and so is free of torsional strain. So the chair conformation is the most stable conformation.
