Draw each of the following substituted cyclobutanes in its two interconverting puckered
Chapter 4, Problem 29(choose chapter or problem)
Draw each of the following substituted cyclobutanes in its two interconverting puckered conformations(Figure 4-3). When the two conformations differ in energy, identify the more stable shape andindicate the form(s) of strain that raise the relative energy of the less stable one. (Hint: Puckeredcyclobutane has axial and equatorial positions similar to those in chair cyclohexane.)(a) Methylcyclobutane (b) cis-1,2-Dimethylcyclobutane(c) trans-1,2-Dimethylcyclobutane (d) cis-1,3-Dimethylcyclobutane(e) trans-1,3-DimethylcyclobutaneWhich is more stable: cis- or trans-1,2-dimethylcyclobutane; cis- or trans-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane?
