Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The similarity in the conformational isomers.
Introduction:
Conformational isomers are the isomers that can be interconverted when there is a rotation in the single bonds. These isomers are a form of stereoisomers having the same connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangements. For example, gauche and eclipsed are the conformational isomers of one another.
b.
To determine:
The difference in the conformational isomers.
Introduction:
Conformational isomers are the isomers that can be interconverted when there is a rotation in the single bonds. These isomers are a form of stereoisomers having the same connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangements. For example, gauche and eclipsed are the conformational isomers of one another.

- 1,2-ditert-butylcyclohexane is an interesting case of a conformational study. The cis isomer is more stable than the trans isomer, although the trans isomer presents a conformer with both substituents in equatorial positions. In order to analyze this fact:a. Draw the conformational equilibrium of both compounds. Explain using and drawing the structures why this difference happens (the one described above). b. In the trans isomer, the di-axial conformation is 25.9 kJ / mol more stable than the di-equatorial. Calculate the energy of the di-equatorial conformation.arrow_forwardExplain the concept of Energy Changes and Conformational Analysis ?arrow_forwardChoices a. constitutional isomers b. cannot be determined c. identical d. conformational isomersarrow_forward
