  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 4, Problem 31P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction: If the conformer shows the minimum steric hindrance of the substituent and minimum torsional strain then that conformer is in stable form.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 4, Problem 31P , additional homework tip  2

Concept Introduction: Trans-isomer has opposite attachment of all groups on the ring.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The isomer type needs to be determined and the stable conformation needs to be drawn.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 4, Problem 31P , additional homework tip  3

I don't understand why the amide on the top left, with the R attached to one side, doesn't get substituted with OH to form a carboxylic acid.  And if only one can be substituted, why did it choose the amide it chose rather than the other amide?
