Expert Solution
Step 1

Enantiomers are pairs of molecules having same connectivity with opposite three dimensional shapes, hence these pairs are mirror images of each other. A racemic mixture contains two enantiomers in equal proportions, in which the optical activity of both the molecules is cancelled by one another.

Step 2

Given:

The synthesis of following compound has to be devised using cyclohexene as a starting material.
