Chapter 5, Problem 40P
- a. The ΔG° for conversion of “axial” fluorocyclohexane to “equatorial” fluorocyclohexane at 25 °C is −0.25 kcal/mol. Calculate the percentage of fluorocyclohexane molecules that have the fluoro substituent in an equatorial position at equilibrium.
- b. Do the same calculation for isopropylcyclohexane (its ΔG ° value at 25 °C is −2.1 kcal/mol).
- c. Why is the percentage of molecules with the substituent in an equatorial position greater for isopropylcyclohexane?
