Devise a synthesis of each compound from cyclohexene as the startingmaterial. More than one step is needed.
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.
