Interpretation:
The eight diastereomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane has to be drawn and the reason has to be explained for One isomer loses HCl in an E2 reaction nearly 1000 times more slowly than the others.
Concept introduction:
Conformations: Rotation about C-C single bonds allows a compound to adopt a variety of possible three-dimensional shapes.
Drawing Axial and Equatorial substituents:
Each carbon in cyclohexane can bear two substituents. One group is said to occupy an axial position, which is parallel to a vertical axis passing through the center of the ring. the other group is said to occupy an equatorial position, which is positioned approximately along the equator of the ring.
E2 elimination:

- Ketones react with alcohols to yield products called acetals. Why does the all-cis isomer of 4-tert-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol react readily with acetone and an acid catalyst to form an acetal, but other stereoisomers do not react? In formulating your answer, draw the more stable chair conformations of all four stereoisomers and the product acetal for each one.arrow_forwardWhich of the two isomers would you expect to undergo E2 elimination faster? trans-1-bromo- 4-tert-butylcyclohexane or cis-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane? Draw each molecule in its more stable chair conformation. Provide an explanation to your answer.arrow_forwardStereochemistry of hydroboration. There are two products that result from this reaction. Products 1 and 2 are stereoisomers of each other. The first product is thermodynamically more stable than the second product. Draw how the two products will look like. Also draw the most stable conformation of the first product. OH 3 C 1. 9-BBN, THF 2. H₂O2, H₂O, NaOHarrow_forward
- In 4+2 cycloaddition, ENDO stereochemistry is preferred because: endo stereochemistry allows the diene to adopt s-cis conformation. endo stereochemistry results in less steric hindrance. the transition state leading to endo stereochemistry is higher energy. it allows for additional π to π overlap between the diene and the dienophile.arrow_forwardDraw the s-cis and s-trans conformers of (Z,Z)-2,7-dimethylocta-3,5-diene. Which conformer is least stable?arrow_forwardDehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.arrow_forward
