Question

The molecule decalin consists of two fused cyclohexane rings. It can exist in a cis-form or Trans-form, as shown below. Illustrate the following for each of the two isomers, keeping in mind that you will need to use a model kit in Autre to test confirmational flips: 1 The most stable sites for mono – substitution off one of the fused rings. 2 The most stable sites and are you orientation ( i.e. cis/trans, as well as axial/Equatorial) distribution of one of the rings. Keep in mind that the rings are themselves substituents off one another, and therefore contribution to the steric's strain in the molecules.

Explanation / Answer

Trans-decaline is more stable than cis-decaline since all carbons are equatorial in trans-decaline.

1 The most stable sites for mono – substitution off one of the fused rings is equatorial.

2 The most stable sites and orientation distribution of one of the rings is equatorial and axia (cis-decaline).
