• An energy minimum and maximum occur every 60° as the conformation changes from staggered to eclipsed.
• Conformations that are neither staggered nor eclipsed are intermediate in energy.
• Butane and higher molecular weight alkanes have several C-C bonds, all capable of rotation.

• A staggered conformation with two larger groups 180° from each other is called anti.
• A staggered conformation with two larger groups 60° from each other is called gauche.
• The staggered conformations are lower in energy than the eclipsed conformations.
Anti and Gauche Conformations

• The relative energies of the individual staggeredconformations depend on their steric strain.
• Steric strain is an increase in energy resulting when non-bonded atoms are forced too close to one another.
• Gauche conformations are generally higher in energy thananti conformations because of steric strain.

• Since the lowest energy conformation has all bonds staggeredand all large groups anti, alkanes are often drawn in zigzagskeletal structures to indicate this.

• Besides torsional strain and steric strain, the conformations of cycloalkanes are also affected by angle strain.
• Angle strain is an increase in energy when bond angles deviate from the optimum tetrahedral angle of 109.5°.
• Cycloalkanes with more than three C atoms in the ring are not flat molecules. They are puckered to reduce strain.

Cycloalkanes distort their shapes to alleviate angle and torsional strain.

• In reality, cyclohexane adopts a puckered “chair” conformation,which is more stable than any other possible conformation.

• Each C in cyclohexane has two different kinds of hydrogens:
(1) Axial hydrogens are located above and below the ring(along a perpendicular axis).
(2) Equatorial hydrogens are located in the plane of thering (around the equator).
Axial and Equatorial Positions

• Cyclohexanes undergo a conformational change called “ring-flipping.”
• As a result of a ring flip, the up carbons become downcarbons, and the down carbons become up carbons.
• Axial and equatorial H atoms are also interconverted duringa ring-flip; axial H atoms become equatorial H atoms, andequatorial H atoms become axial H atoms.
Conformational Change – Ring-Flipping

Conformational Change – Ring-Flipping
• There are two possible chair conformations.
• The equatorial position has more room than the axial position, so larger substituents are more stable in the equatorial position.

• The two chair conformations of cyclohexane are different, sothey are not equally stable.
• Larger axial substituents create destabilizing (and thusunfavorable) 1,3-diaxial interactions.
• In methylcyclohexane, each unfavorable H,CH3 interactiondestabilizes the conformation by 0.9 kcal/mol, so Conformation2 is 1.8 kcal/mol less stable than Conformation 1.

• The larger the substituent on the six-membered ring, the higherthe percentage of the equatorial conformation at equilibrium.
• With a very large substituent like tert-butyl [(CH3)3C-],essentially none of the conformation containing an axial tert-butyl group is present at room temperature.

• Stereoisomers are isomers that differ only in the way the atoms are oriented in space.
• The prefixes cis and trans are used to distinguish these isomers.
• The cis isomer has two groups on the same side of the ring.• The trans isomer has two groups on opposite sides of the ring.

• Alkanes undergo combustion — that is, they burn in thepresence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
• This is an example of an oxidation-reduction reaction. EveryC-H and C-C bond in the starting material is converted to aC-O bond in the product.
