Chapter 5, Problem 50P

(Use models to solve this problem.)

(a) Write a conformational structure for the most stable conformation of trans-1,4-diethylcyclohexane and for its mirror image.

(b) Are these structures superposable?

(c) Do they represent enantiomers?

(d) Does trans-1,4-diethylcyclohexane have a stereoisomer, and if so, what is it?

(e) Is this stereoisomer chiral?

Consider 1-bromopropane,  CH3CH2CH2Br. (a) Draw a Newman projection for the conformation in which ­ CH3 and -Br are anti (dihedral angle 180°). (b) Draw Newman projections for the conformations in which - CH3 and -Br are gauche (dihedral angles 60° and 300°). (c) Which of these is the lowest energy conformation? (d) Which of these conformations, if any, are related by reflection?
Draw the most stable conformation of cis-1-tert-butyl-3-ethylcyclohexane. (a) (b) trans-1-tert-butyl-2-methylcyclohexane. (c) trans-1-tert-butyl-3-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)cyclohexane.
(A)Menthol, used to flavor various foods and tobacco, is the most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol. Draw its most stable conformation. Is the hydroxyl group cis or trans to the isopropyl group? To the methyl group? (b) Neomenthol is a stereoisomer of menthol. That is, it has the same constitution but differs in the arrangement of its atoms in space. Neomenthol is the second most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5methylcyclohexanol; it is less stable than menthol but more stable than any other stereoisomer. Write the structure of neomenthol in its most stable conformation.
