In the previous two posts, we have talked about drawing the ring-flip of chair conformations and the A value (1,3-diaxial interactions). And we learned that for a given cyclohexane, the axial conformer is less stable than the corresponding equatorial conformer. … Read more
How to Draw the Ring-Flip of a Chair? In summary, this is what you need to do: Now, let’s go into more detail. The first thing you need to know before drawing the ring flip of a chair cyclohexane … Read more
The Chair is the most stable, most important, and common conformation of cyclohexane, so knowing how to draw it (them – there are two chair conformations), is an essential skill you will need to know throughout your journey in organic … Read more
Conformations Let’s first talk about conformations. These, also referred to as conformers or conformational isomers, are different arrangements of atoms that occur as a result of rotation about single bonds. For example, in the following molecule, we can have a … Read more
Chemical Formulas, Structures and Constitutional Isomers In the General chemistry courses, when solving different problems like the ones in stoichiometry and gas laws, we often use the following notations for representing organic molecules: CH4, C3H8, C6H6, C4H10O These are … Read more
In today’s post, we will talk about the IUPAC rules of nomenclature for naming alkanes and alkyl halides. The first thing you need to do before learning the IUPAC rules for systematic nomenclature is making sure you know the names … Read more
