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.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Why do you suppose an axial cyano (鈥揅N) substituent causes practically no 1,3-diaxial steric strain (0.4 kJ/mol)? Use molecular models to help with your answer.

Name the following substances, including the cis- or trans- prefix (redbrown= Br):

A 1, 2-trans disubstituted cyclohexane must have either both groups axial or both groups equatorial. Explain.

Why is a 1, 3-cis disubstituted cyclohexane more stable than its trans isomer?

Assume that you have a variety of cyclohexane substituted in the positions indicated. Identify the substituents as either axial or equatorial. For example, a 1, 2-cis relationship means that one substituent must be axial and one equatorial, whereas a 1, 2-trans relationship means that either substituent is axial or both are equatorial.

(a) 1, 3-Trans disubstituted (b) 1, 4-Cis disubstituted

(c) 1, 3-Cis disubstituted (d) 1, 5-Trans disubstituted

(e) 1, 5-Cis disubstituted (f) 1, 6-Trans disubstituted
