Question

There are three different constitutional isomers of dimethylcyclohexane. In the questions below, you will explore the stability of the cis and trans stereoisomers of each substitution pattern. Build a model

of trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. (You can later turn it into cis-1,2-cyclohexane.) a. Label the bond-line drawing of both cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. b. Draw 2 chairs for each stereoisomer. c. Identify the more stable conformer in each pair, if any.с. d. Compare the most stable cis chair and the most stable trans chair. Which stereoisomermore stable: cis or trans?
