Chapter 4: Q60E (page 114)

Question:There are two different substances named trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane. What is the relationship between them?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The two structures are enantiomers.

Step by step solution

01

About trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane

The organic chemical compound that contains a cyclopentane ring that bears two methyl groups at 1 and 2 carbon atoms respectively is 1,2-dimethylcyclopentane.

This compound has can adopt many stereochemical geometries.

02

About the trans and cis form

The trans form is for the bulkier group on the opposite side of the stereogenic center and the cis form is for the bulkier group on the same side of the stereogenic center.

03

About the difference

The given structures are mirror images of each other. Both the structures are opposite stereochemistry. The two structures are not superimposable on one another. So the given two structures are enantiomers.
