Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of two optically inactive forms of 1,3, disecbutyl cyclohexane are to be written.

Concept Introduction:

In general, organic compounds that lack a plane of symmetry are optically active and are chiral.

Optically active compounds exist as enantiomers that are mirror images of each other. Enantiomers have same physical and chemical properties in similar achiral environment.
