Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why illustrated compound A exist mostly in chair conformation with the equatorial OH group while illustrated compound B exists mostly in chair conformation with an axial OH group is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The saturated six-membered ring compounds are mostly expressed and explained in the chair conformations. This is because the chair conformation is the most stable conformation of cyclohexane. Thus, the chair conformation is most helpful in the studies of six-membered ring compounds.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the racemate of 2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethyl-3, 4-hexanediol has the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds while meso isomer of this does not is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Newman projection is one of the representation to understand the stereochemistry of alkane compounds. In this projection, one carbon-carbon bond is chosen in which front carbon is represented by dot and back carbon by as a circle. The substituent is attached to the carbon in the Y shape.
