CHAPTER 1
1. The calculations are shown for each molecule using values from Table 1.3 in Chapter 1.

A B
(a) H°A = ACHR2 + AC = 2.1 + 0.2 = 2.3 kcal mol-1 If A + B = 1
H°B = ANHR + GC + GCHR2 = 1.3 + 0 + 0.8 = 2.1 kcal mol-1 then, A = 1-B
B B
H° = H°B – H°A = 2.1 – 2.3 = –0.2 kcal mol-1 Keq = A = 1-B
At 150°C, 2.303 RT = 2.303(1.987)(423)* = 1.936 kcal mol-1 Keq(1-B) = B
Keq
[* T is in Kelvin = °C + 273] and B = 1+K , via
eq
therefore, G° = –0.2 = –1.936 log Keq 1.27(1-B) = B
-0.2
log Keq = -1.936 = +0.103 1.27 - 1.27B = B
Keq = 100.103 = 1.27 1.27 = B+1.27B
1.27
1.27 = B(2.27) 2.27
= B = 0.56
Therefore, 56% of B and 100-56 = 44% of A.
Since A has two axial groups and B has only one, an initial glance suggests that B will be lower
in energy and be the greatest contributor to the chair population. Conformation A has one axial group
(CHMe2) on the top and one axial group (CCMe) on the bottom so ACHR2 and AC are used from
Table 1.4. In B there is only one axial group (NH2) so AOR is used. The two equatorial groups in B
(CHMe2 and CCMe) are on adjacent carbons, so there are two G terms, GC and GCHR2.

(b) H°A = 4 (ACH2R + ACl) = 0.1.8 + 0.4 = 1.65 kcal mol-1 If A + B = 1
3 3
H°B = (AOR + GCH2R + GCl) =
4 4 (1.8 + 0.4 + 0.5) = 2.03 kcal mol-1 then, A = 1-B
B B
H° = H°B – H°A = 2.03 – 1.65 = 0.38 kcal mol-1 Keq = A = 1-B
at 25 °C, G° = 0.38 = -1.364 log Keq Keq(1-B) = B
0.38 Keq
log Keq = -1.364 = -0.279 and B = 1+K
eq
0.526
Keq = 10-0.279 = 0.526 1.526
= B = 0.345
Therefore, 34.5% of B and 100-34.5 = 65.5% of A.
Although B has two axial groups, it is actually lower in energy because the axial chlorine has a
lower interaction that the combined G value interactions in B. It accounts for only 35% of the
population of chair conformers. Conformation B has two adjacent and diequatorial groups, so GCH2R
and GCl are used from Table 1.4. Since B has one axial methoxy group, AOR is used.

(c) H°A = AOR + ACl + GCH2R + GOR = 0.8 + 1.8 + 0.4 + 0.2 = 3.2 kcal mol-1 If A + B = 1
H°B = UOR + UOR + ACH2R + GCl + GOR = 0.8 + 0.8 + 1.8 + 0.5 + 0.2 = 4.1 kcal mol-1 then, A = 1-B
B B
H° = H°B – H°A = 4.1 – 3.2 = 0.9 kcal mol-1 Keq = A = 1-B
at 25°C, G° = 0.9 = –1.364 log Keq Keq(1-B) = B
0.9 Keq
log Keq = -1.364 = –0.66 and B = 1+K
eq
0.22
Keq = 10-0.66 = 0.22 1.22
= B = 0.18
Therefore, 18% of B and 100-18 = 82% of A.
The three axial groups in B, along with the two G-interactions make it much more sterically
demanding than the two axial groups and the two G-interactions in A. Therefore, A accounts for the
greater percentage of chair conformations.

(d) H°A = no interactions = 0 kcal mol-1 If A + B = 1
H°B = Aaryl + ACR3 = 3.0 + 6.0 = 9.0 kcal mol-1 then, A = 1-B
B B
H° = H°B – H°A = 9.0 – 0 = 9.0 kcal mol-1 Keq = A = 1-B
at 25°C, G° = 9.0 = –1.364 log Keq Keq(1-B) = B
9.0 Keq
log Keq = -1.364 = -6.598 and B = 1+K
eq
3x10-7
Keq = 10-6.598 = 3x10-7 1.00
= B =3x10-7
Therefore, 0.00003% of B and 100-0.00003 = 99.99997% of A.
Since A has two large equatorial groups and B has two large axial group, the equilibrium is
pushed in the direction of A, in essentially 100%.

5. Using the reaction wheel (Fig. 1.3) give reasonable syntheses, including reagents and all
intermediates (no mechanisms).
There is more than one "correct" answer. One possible solution is shown for each
transformation. The letters (a), (f), etc., beside each reagent refer to the lettered transformations from
Figure 1.2 in Chapter 1.
The first reaction is a poor one since elimination will be a major process. Limiting
the choices to those in Table1.1 and Figure 1.3 is a problem since there are other ways to do this.
