Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for anti-coplanar transition state of ethyl bromide being more favored over syn coplanar is to be explained by showing the Newman projection formulas.

Concept introduction:

Staggered conformation: It is the arrangement of atoms or groups of atoms in a molecule resulting in a 60 dihedral angle. It is also called anti-coplanar transition. It has low potential energy because of less torsional strain, and hence, more stable.

Eclipsed conformation: It is the arrangement of atoms or groups of atoms in a molecule resulting in a 0 dihedral angle. It is also called syn-planar transition. It has high potential energy because of high torsional strain, and hence, less stable.

Consider the reaction between (1S,3S)‑1‑chloro‑3‑methylcyclopentane and methanethiol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. (a) Draw the organic product and clearly indicate stereochemistry by showing the hydrogen on the chirality centers and using wedge and dash bonds. (b) Then analyze the stereochemistry of the product. racemic chiral achiral (1R, 3S) (1R, 3R) (1S, 3S)
E In the equilibrium reaction of the conformations of 1,3-butadiene, what adequately explains the 15 kJ/mol energy barrier between the s-cis and s-trans conformation? 15 kJ/mol Sterics cause the s-cis conformation to be more stable and, therefore, higher in energy. (B) The л-bonds are not conjugated during the conversion of one conformation to the other. The s-trans is more stable because it is aromatic. The s-cis is less stable because it is non-aromatic. (E) Both the s-cis and s-trans are conjugated because all carbons are sp³-hybridized. 0° 90° Dihedral angle 180°
