- Use your answers from Problem 2.48 to complete the table showing correlations between cis,trans and axial,equatorial for disubstituted derivatives of cyclohexane. Draw the alternative chair conformations for the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane, 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane, 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane. (a) Indicate by a label whether each methyl group is axial or equatorial.arrow_forwardLabel each ring in Figure 7.2 cis or trans.arrow_forwardIn the next chapter we'll look at cycloalkanes—saturated cyclic hydrocarbons—and we’ll see that the molecules generally adopt puckered, nonplanar conformations. Cyclohexane, for instance, has a puckered shape like a lounge chair rather than a flat shape. Why?arrow_forward

Which conformation, if either, is more stable? d. Which isomer, cis or trans, is more stable and why? [1] [2] [3]arrow_forwardWhich is more stable and why? II A. I because it has a chair conformation with the most axial bonds B. I because it has a chair conformation with the most equatorial bonds C. II because it has a chair conformation with the most axial bonds OD. II because it has a chair conformation with the most equatorial bonds %3Darrow_forwardWhich statement is true about these conformers? H. H. H H CH3 H3C H. H,C H,C H. H. A O A and B are equally stable O Difficult to predict O A more stable than B ) B more stable thanarrow_forward
- Draw a model of ethane. Imagine rotating the C-C single bond. a. Is there a change in the relative positions of the different atoms as the C-C bond is rotated? Yes or No? b. Does the ethane molecule have more than one conformation? Yes or No?arrow_forwardFor 1,2-dichloroethane: a.Draw Newman projections for all eclipsed conformations formed by rotation from 0° to 360° about the carbon-carbon single bond. b.Which eclipsed conformation(s) has (have) the lowest energy? Which has (have) the highest energy? c.Which, if any, of these eclipsed conformations are related by reflection?arrow_forwardFor each attached compound drawn below:a.) Draw representations for the cis and trans isomers using a hexagon for the six-membered ring, and wedges and dashed wedges for substituents.b.) Draw the two possible chair conformations for the cis isomer. Which conformation, if either, is more stable?c.) Draw the two possible chair conformations for the trans isomer. Which conformation, if either, is more stable?d.) Which isomer, cis or trans, is more stable and why?arrow_forward
