Chapter 7, Problem 7.8P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The two chair conformations for both the enantiomers of the given cyclic compound are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The conformation of cyclohexane is a type of 3D shape of cyclohexane molecule. There are total four types of significant conformations of cyclohexane exists which are chair conformation, half-chair conformation, boat conformation and twist-boat conformation. Enantiomer of a compound has opposite configuration.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The two chair conformations for the given cyclic compound are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The conformation of cyclohexane is a type of 3D shape of cyclohexane molecule. There are total four types of significant conformations of cyclohexane exists which are chair conformation, half-chair conformation, boat conformation and twist-boat conformation.

The naming of chiral center and geometric isomers are based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. If the priority assigned to each group attached to the chiral center in a molecule is in a clockwise direction, then it is the R-stereoisomer, and if this is counter-clockwise, then it is the S-stereoisomer. R and S-stereoisomer are mirror images of each other.
