4.3 Stability of Cycloalkanes: Ring Strain Angle strain The strain induced in a molecule when bond angles are forced to deviate from the ideal 109º tetrahedral value (Adolf von Baeyer 1885) Stability of Cycloalkanes: Ring Strain Angle strain Experimental data show that Baeyer s theory is only partially correct Baeyer assumed all cycloalkanes to be flat Angle strain occurs only in small rings that have little flexibility Stability of Cycloalkanes: Ring Strain The three kinds of strain that contribute to the overall energy of a cycloalkane: 1. Angle strain the strain due to expansion or compression of bond angles 2. Torsional strain the strain due to eclipsing of bonds on neighboring atoms 3. Steric strain the strain due to repulsive interactions when atoms approach each other too closely 1

4.4 Conformations of Cycloalkanes Cyclopropane Most strained of all the rings Angle strain caused by 60º C-C-C bond angles Torsional strain caused by the eclipsed C-H bonds on neighboring carbon atoms a) Structure of cyclopropane showing the eclipsing of neighboring C- H bonds giving rise to torsional strain b) Newman projection along a C-C bond of cyclopropane Conformations of Cycloalkanes Bent C-C bonds Orbitals can t point directly toward each other Orbitals overlap at a slight angle Bonds are weaker and more reactive than typical alkane bonds C-C bond: 255 kj/mol (61 kcal/mol) for cyclopropane 355 kj/mol (85 kcal/mol) for open-chain propane Conformations of Cycloalkanes Cyclobutane Total strain is nearly same as cyclopropane Angle strain less than cyclopropane Torsional strain more than cyclopropane because of larger number of ring hydrogens Not planar (not flat) One carbon atom lies 25º above the plane of the other three Newman projection along C1-C2 bond shows that neighboring C-H bonds are not quite eclipsed 2

Conformations of Cycloalkanes Cyclopentane Less strain than cyclopropane or cyclobutane Planar cyclopentane exhibits: Angle strain very minimal Torsional strain large amount Cyclopentane twists to a nonplanar (puckered) conformation C1, C2, C3 and C4 are nearly planar but C5 is out of the plane Balance between increased angle strain and a decreased torsional strain 4.5 Conformations of Cyclohexane Substituted cyclohexanes Most common cycloalkanes Occur widely in nature Steroids Pharmaceutical agents Conformations of Cyclohexane Cyclohexane Adopts chair conformation No angle strain All C-C-C bonds are 111.5º, close to the ideal 109º No torsional strain Neighboring C-H bonds are staggered 3

Conformations of Cyclohexane Drawing chair conformation of cyclohexane Step 1 draw parallel lines, slanted downward and slightly offset from each other Step 2 place topmost carbon atom above and to the right of the plane of the other four, and connect the bonds Step 3 place bottommost carbon atom below and to the left of the plane of the middle four, and connect the bonds Note: Bonds to the bottommost carbon atom are parallel to the bonds to the topmost carbon. Conformations of Cyclohexane Chair conformation Angle strain none Torsional strain none Twist-boat conformation About 23 kj/mol (5.5 kcal/mol) higher in energy than chair Angle strain minimal Torsional strain large amount Steric strain large amount 4.6 Axial and Equatorial Bonds in Cyclohexane Chemical behavior of many substituted cyclohexanes is influenced by conformation Simple carbohydrates (such as glucose) adopt a cyclohexane chair conformation which directly affects their chemistry 4

There are two kinds of positions for substituents on the cyclohexane ring Axial positions 6 axial positions perpendicular to ring and parallel to ring axis. Equatorial positions 6 equatorial positions are in rough plane of the ring around the equator axial positions equatorial positions Each carbon atom in cyclohexane has one axial and one equatorial hydrogen. Each face of the ring has three axial and three equatorial hydrogens in an alternating pattern. Drawing axial and equatorial positions 5

There is only one form of a monosubstituted cyclohexane. Cyclohexane rings are conformationally mobile. Different chair conformations readily interconvert exchanging axial and equatorial positions - called a ring-flip. Ring-flip occurs by keeping the middle four carbon atoms in place while folding the two end carbons in opposite directions Axial substituent becomes an equatorial substituent after ring-flip and vice versa Energy barrier to ring-flip is about 45 kj/mol (10.8 kcal/mol) Worked Example 4.2 Drawing the Chair Conformation of a Substituted Cyclohexane Draw 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane in a chair conformation, indicating which methyl group in your drawing is axial and which is equatorial 6

4.7 Conformations of Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes The two conformers of a monosubstituted cyclohexane are not equally stable Substituent is almost always more stable in equatorial position Percentages of two isomers calculated by equation based on the value of K E = -RT ln K E is the energy difference between isomers R is the gas constant [8.315 J/(K mol)] T is the Kelvin temperature K is the equilibrium constant between isomers Conformations of Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes Plot of percentages of two isomers at equilibrium versus the energy difference between them using E = -RT ln K Conformations of Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes Energy difference between axial and equatorial conformations is due to 7.6 kj/mol of steric strain caused by 1,3-diaxial interactions C1 methyl group too close to C3 and C5 axial hydrogens 7

Conformations of Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes Steric strain Origin of the steric strain between an axial methyl group and an axial hydrogen atom in methylcyclohexane is identical to the steric strain in gauche butane Equatorial methylcyclohexane has no such interactions and is more stable Conformations of Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes 1,3-Diaxial steric strain Depends on the nature and size of the substituent Steric strain increases paralleling increase of bulk of alkyl group H 3 C- < CH 3 CH 2 - < (CH 3 ) 2 CH- << (CH 3 ) 3 C- 8
