a) the lowest energy conformations of cis- and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane.
b) the highest and lowest energy conformations of methyl cyclohexane, trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane and cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane
Type of Strain Interaction | Associated Energy |
Eclipsing of a pair of H's | 4kj/mol |
Eclipsing of a H and a CH3 group | 6kj/mol |
Eclipsing of a pair of CH3 groups | 11kj/mol |

1,3 CH3 to H Interaction on Cyclohexane Chair | 3.8kj/mol |
1,3 CH3 to CH3 Interaction on Cyclohexane Chair | 15.5kj/mol |
1) Difference in lowest energy conformations = 7.6-3.8 = 3.8
2) difference in highest energy conformations =15.2 - 7.6 = 7.6
The lowest energy conformation of methycyclohexane = 0
The highest energy conformation of methylcyclohexane = 7.6 KJ / mole
difference =7.6
