Although there are nine stereoisomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane, one stereoisomer reacts 7000 times more slowly than any of the others in an E2 elimination. Draw the structure of this isomer and explain why this is so.
What is the major stereoisomer formed when each alkyl halide is treated with ?

a.

b.
Several factors can affect alkene stability. Explain why alkene A is more stable than alkene B even though both contain disubstituted carbon-carbon double bonds.

Name each compound and decide which stereoisomer will react faster in an E2 elimination reaction. Explain your choice.

Taking into account anti periplanar geometry, predict the major E2 product formed from each starting material.
