Cycloalkanes
• Rings of carbon atoms (CH2 groups)
• Formula: CnH2n
• Nonpolar, insoluble in water
• Compact shape
• Melting and boiling points similar to branched alkanes with same number of carbons

Naming Cycloalkanes
• Cycloalkane usually base compound– May be cycloalkyl attachment to chain
• It is off of a chain that has a longer carbon chain
• Number carbons in ring if >1 substituent.
• Number so that sub. have lowest numbers– Give first in alphabet lowest number if possible

Stereoisomerism
• Compounds which have their atoms connected in the same order but differ in 3-D orientation
![Page 8: CH 4: Organic Compounds: Cycloalkanes and their Stereochemistry](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56816334550346895dd3bbfe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Cis-Trans Isomerism
• Cis: like groups on same face of ring
• Trans: like groups on opposite face of ring
• Sub. Do not have to be on adjacent carbons of ring

Cycloalkane Stability
• 5- and 6-membered rings most stable
• Bond angle closest to 109.5
• Angle (Baeyer) strain
• Measured by heats of combustion per -CH2 -
– The more strain, the higher the heat of combustion, per CH2 group
– The energy released as heat when one mole of a compound undergoes complete combustion with oxygen.

Stability of Cycloalkanes: The Baeyer Strain Theory • Baeyer (1885): since
carbon prefers to have bond angles of approximately 109°, ring sizes other than five and six may be too strained to exist
• Rings from 3 to 30 C’s do exist but are strained due to bond bending distortions and steric interactions
![Page 12: CH 4: Organic Compounds: Cycloalkanes and their Stereochemistry](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56816334550346895dd3bbfe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Summary: Types of Strain
• Angle strain - expansion or compression of bond angles away from most stable
• Torsional strain - eclipsing of bonds on neighboring atoms
• Steric strain - repulsive interactions between nonbonded atoms in close proximity

Cyclobutane
• Angle strain due to compression• Torsional strain partially relieved by ring-
puckering
![Page 17: CH 4: Organic Compounds: Cycloalkanes and their Stereochemistry](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56816334550346895dd3bbfe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Cyclopentane
• If planar, angles would be 108, but all hydrogens would be eclipsed.
• Puckered conformer reduces torsional strain.
![Page 18: CH 4: Organic Compounds: Cycloalkanes and their Stereochemistry](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56816334550346895dd3bbfe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Cyclohexane
• Combustion data shows it’s unstrained.
• Angles would be 120, if planar.
• The chair conformer has 109.5 bond angles and all hydrogens are staggered.
• No angle strain and no torsional strain.

1,3-Diaxial Interactions
• Difference between axial and equatorial conformers is due to steric strain caused by 1,3-diaxial interactions
![Page 26: CH 4: Organic Compounds: Cycloalkanes and their Stereochemistry](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56816334550346895dd3bbfe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Hydrogen atoms of the axial methyl group on C1 are too close to the axial hydrogens three carbons away on C3 and C5, resulting in 7.6 kJ/mol of steric strain

Conformational Analysis of Disubstituted Cyclohexanes
• In disubstituted cyclohexanes the steric effects of both substituents must be taken into account in both conformations
• There are two isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. cis and trans
• In the cis isomer, both methyl groups are on the same face of the ring, and compound can exist in two chair conformations
• Consider the sum of all interactions
• In cis-1,2, both conformations are equal in energy

Trans-1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane
• Methyl groups are on opposite faces of the ring
• One trans conformation has both methyl groups equatorial and only a gauche butane interaction between methyls (3.8 kJ/mol) and no 1,3-diaxial interactions
• The ring-flipped conformation has both methyl groups axial with four 1,3-diaxial interactions
• Steric strain of 4 3.8 kJ/mol = 15.2 kJ/mol makes the diaxial conformation 11.4 kJ/mol less favorable than the diequatorial conformation
• trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane will exist almost exclusively (>99%) in the diequatorial conformation

Bulky Groups
• Groups like t-butyl cause a large energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformer.
• Most stable conformer puts t-butyl equatorial regardless of
other substituents.
