Question
Which will have a higher percentage of the diequatorial-substituted conformer compared with the diaxial-substituted conformer, trans -1,4-dimethylcyclohexane or cis -1- tert -butyl-3-methylcyclohexane?
Solution
The first step in solving 3.14 problem number 2 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Which will have a higher percentage of the diequatorial-substituted conformer compared with the diaxial-substituted conformer, trans -1,4-dimethylcyclohexane or cis -1- tert -butyl-3-methylcyclohexane?
From the textbook chapter Conformers of Disubstituted Cyclohexanes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
