10 Questions
How many conformations can cis-2-decalol change to?
Multiple
How many (1,3) CH3/H interactions are present in cis-9-methyldecalin?
Two
What is the difference between cis and trans decalin in terms of substituent positioning?
The position of a substituent on cis-decalin changes, while on trans-decalin it remains unchanged
What is the reason for trans-decalin being a rigid molecule?
It is not possible for its chair forms to interconvert to another one by changing two C-C fusion bonds
What is the result of the reduction in energy difference between cis-9-methyldecalin and its trans isomer?
A higher percentage cis isomer in the equilibrium mixture
How many isomers of hydrindane are there?
Two
What is the difference between trans and cis hydrindane?
The type of cyclohexane bonds used in the formation of the five-membered ring
Why does trans-2-decalol have only one conformation?
Due to the rigidity of the trans-decalin rings
What is the energy difference between cis-9-methyldecalin and its trans isomer compared to cis and trans decalin?
Smaller
What is the characteristic of trans-decalin that affects its conformational behavior?
Its rigidity
