Chapter 4.11, Problem

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of hydrogen atoms present in axial and equatorial positions of 1,3,3-trimethylbicyclo[4.4.0]decane should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Conformational isomers:

• The two or more compounds have same molecular formula and different structural formulas are called conformational isomers.
• The Cyclohexane have a chair and boat conformations.
• The chair conformations of Cyclohexane have a axial and equatorial positions.
• The atom or group is occupy at similar to a vertical axis passing through the chair conformation of Cyclohexane ring is called axial position.
• The atom or group is occupy at similar to horizontal axis passing through the chair conformation of ring is called equatorial position.
