- 3) Draw the most stable conformation of (2Z, 4E)-2,4-hexadiene.arrow_forwardBelow are isomers of tert-butylcyclohexanol in conformational structures. Two are cis-2-tert- butylcyclohexanol and two are cis-3-tert-butylcyclohexanol. Indicate which is the more stable conformation for each pair, and indicate which of all four conformations is the most stable. A OH Ex HO B D OH OHarrow_forwardMethyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Methyl isocyanate reacts with strong acids, such as sulfuric acid, to form a cation. Will this molecule undergo protonation more readily on its oxygen or nitrogen atom? In considering contributing structures to each hybrid, do not consider structures in which more than one atom has an incomplete octetarrow_forward
