  • Congressional Campaign Committees

    • The position of DCCC committee chair was assumed by Rahm Emanuel after the death of the previous chair, Bob Matsui at the end of the 2004 election cycle.

  • Steroids

    • Each chair is fused to the other by equatorial bonds, leaving the angular hydrogens (Ha) axial to both rings.
    • Conformational descriptions of cis- decalin are complicated by the fact that two energetically equivalent fusions of chair cyclohexanes are possible, and are in rapid equilibrium as the rings flip from one chair conformation to the other.
    • In each of these all chair conformations the rings are fused by one axial and one equatorial bond, and the overall structure is bent at the ring fusion.
    • The fusion of ring C to ring B in a trans configuration prevents ring B from undergoing a conformational flip to another chair form.
    • Consequently, the steroid molecule is locked in the all chair conformation shown here.

  • Creating Learning Objectives
