Question:

We saw in Problem 4.20 that cis-decalin is less stable than trans-decalin. Assume that the 1, 3-diaxial interactions in trans-decalin are similar to those m axial methylcyclohexane [that is, one CH2↔H interaction costs 3.8kJ/mol (0.9kcal/mol)], and calculate the magnitude of the energy difference between cis- and trans-decalin.
