Question
On a separate sheet of paper, draw the two alternative chair conformations for the product formed by the addition of bromine to 4-tert-
butylcyclohexene. The Gibbs free-energy differences between equatorial and axial substituents on a cyclohexane ring are 21 kJ/mol for tert-butyl, and
2.3 kJ/mol for bromine..
Calculate the ratio of the two observed products at 46.0 °C using the following equation:
AG-RT In Keq
The gas constant, R, is 8.314 3/K mol.
