Odd Hassel won a Nobel Prize for his work on this compound. Its two stable conformations differ in energy by 23 kJ/mol, with an activation energy of 45 kJ/mol to go from one to the other.
Odd Hassel won a Nobel Prize for his work on this compound. Its two stable conformations differ in energy by 23 kJ/mol, with an activation energy of 45 kJ/mol to go from one to the other. One of its conformations exhibits little torsional strain but the "flagpole interaction" decreases its stability, while its most stable conformation has C-C bond angles very close to 105 degrees. For ten points, what is this alkane which can be found in the twist, boat, or chair conformations, with formula C6H12?
