Question
Chapter 8, Problem 5Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The most stable conformer should be determined using molecular mechanics amongst cis- 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol and trans -3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol formed from reduction of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone.
Concept Introduction:
In the molecular mechanics method, the molecule is treated as made up of balls (atoms) and springs (bonds). Here, springs connects the balls. The total energy of molecule is known as strain energy and it is sum of the energy contributed due to stretching, strain in angle and electronic charge interactions.
