Using Avogadro, construct the conformations for tert-butylcyclohexane, similar to Question # 5. Record the energy of each conformation in the table.
Question # 7: Conformations of tert-butylcyclohexane A. Using Avogadro, construct the conformations for tert-butylcyclohexane, similar to Question # 5. Record the energy of each conformation in the table. tert-Butyl Position Energy (kJ//mol) B. Based on the data collected from Questions 4-7, what can be said about placing substituents in axial vs. equatorial positions? C. Consider the conformations for cis-1-tert-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane. Based on the information gained in questions 4-7, draw the lowest energy structure for cis-1-tert-butyl-4- methylcyclohexane.
