Why is trans trans 1,4-Diphenyl-1,3-Butadiene thermodynamically more stable than cis trans 1,4-Diphenyl-1,3-Butadiene?
Why are there only 3 isomers of pentane? Why doesn't butyne have cis and trans isomers? Why is there no such thing as 3-butyne?
25 For the following pairs of compounds, indicate if they are cis-trans isomers or the same compound. If they are cis-trans isomers, indicate which is the cis isomer and which is the trans isomer and explain why. a. and b. and and
Which of the following pairs are cis-trans isomers? Select all the pairs that are cis-trans isomers.
2. Which of the following compounds exhibit cis/trans Isomer CIS and transforms of the compounds that do exhibit Isomers s exhibit cis/trans isomerism? Explain why. Draw the a) Methylcyclobutane b) 3-ethyl-3-hexene c) 1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane d) 2,3-dimethylpentane e) 2,3-dichloro-2-hexene f) 2-butyne
2. Draw the structures of the cis-trans isomers for each compound. Label them cis and trans. If no cis-trans isomers exist, write none. a. 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentene b. 1,1-dimethyl-2-ethylcyclopropane c. 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane d. 5-methyl-2-hexene e. 1,2,3-trimethylcyclopropane
PART B: Cyclohexane Procedures: 1. Make a model of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. Do a ring flip of both *Draw the two conformation of the cis and trans cyclohexane structures above *List the number of axial and equatorial substituents for both the cis and trans *Which isomer is more stable overall, cis or trans? Why? 2. Make a model cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane and trans-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane. Do a ring flip *Draw the two conformation of the cis and trans cyclohexane structures above *List the number...
12. You are given a sample that is believed to be either cis-
or trans-cinnamic acid. Would TLC be a good method to determine
which compound you have? Why or why not? See structures
