Chapter 2, Problem 2.67P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be explained that for small rings, there is a significant difference in boiling points of cyclic alkanes and cyclic ethers, but for large rings, the boiling points are nearly the same.

Concept introduction:

When compounds contain both polar and nonpolar groups, the strength of intermolecular attraction depends on the size of the nonpolar group. As the size of the nonpolar part increases, the contribution of induced dipole-induced dipole interactions toward the total strength becomes more significant than the contribution of the polar functional group.

b. Consider the equilibrium shown below. When the solvent is ethanol (CH3CH₂OH), conformer B is preferred. However, when the solvent is carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), conformer A is preferred. Use drawings to illustrate the non-covalent interactions responsible for the different conformational preference in these two different solvents. Minimal text may be used to further support your explanation. OH A OH НО B OH
