12. a. Draw both chair conformations of cis-1-chloro-4-methylcyclohexane. b. A Cl–H 1,3-diaxial interaction is 2.0 KJ/mol per 1,3-diaxial interaction. A CH3–H 1,3-diaxial interaction is 3.8 KJ/mol per 1,3-diaxial interaction. Which conformer is more stable (10 pts)
13. The energy barrier for a chair-chair interconversion of chlorocyclohexane is 4.0 KJ/mol. The
rotational barrier of ethane is 12 KJ/mol. The rotational barrier of 1-chloroethane is 15 KJ/mol. The rotation barrier of propane is 14 KJ/mol. The rotation barrier of 1-chloropropane is 20 KJ/mol. a) Draw Newman projections for all the unique conformers of 1-chloropropane from rotation of the C1-C2 bond and calculate their relative energies. b) Which structure represents the rotational barrier. (15 pts)
chlorocyclohexane chair-chair interconversion : Cl-CH3 gauche interaction is 4.0/2 = 2.0 KJ/mol rotational barrier of ethane is 12 KJ/mol : H-H eclipsing interaction in 4.0 KJ/mol rotational barrier of 1-chloroethane is 15 KJ/mol: Cl-H eclipsing interaction is 15 – 2(4.0) = 7.0 KJ/mol rotation barrier of propane is 14 KJ/mol : H-CH3 eclipsing interaction is 14 – 2(4.0) = 6.0 KJ/mol

14. a) Draw the mechanism of the acid-base reaction of phenol, placing the proper arrow between the reactants (shown) and products. b) Phenol (pKa ~10) is considerably more acidic than an aliphatic alcohol (pKa ~16) because its conjugate base (phenolate ion) is stabilized by resonance. Draw the resonance structures of the phenolate ion and show the mechanism by which the resonance forms interconvert. (15 pts).
15. The bond enthalpy for the C–H bond of methane is 435 KJ/mol. Draw a diagram showing the molecular orbitals of the C–H bond. (10 pts)
