When two six-membered rings share a C—C bond, this bicyclic system is called a decalin. There are two possible arrangements: trans-decalin having two hydrogen atoms at the ring fusion on opposite sides of the rings, and cis-decalin having the two hydrogens at the ring fusion on thesame side.a.Draw trans- and cis-decalin using the chair form for the cyclohexane rings. b.The trans isomer is more stable. Explain why.

(A)Menthol, used to flavor various foods and tobacco, is the most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol. Draw its most stable conformation. Is the hydroxyl group cis or trans to the isopropyl group? To the methyl group? (b) Neomenthol is a stereoisomer of menthol. That is, it has the same constitution but differs in the arrangement of its atoms in space. Neomenthol is the second most stable stereoisomer of 2-isopropyl-5methylcyclohexanol; it is less stable than menthol but more stable than any other stereoisomer. Write the structure of neomenthol in its most stable conformation.
