Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the most stable chair form for cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. Now, consider the most stable chair form for trans-1,2-
dimethylcyclohexane. Which of the following is true? (Select only 1 option)
O The trans isomer is more stable, since both of its substituents are axial in the preferred chair conformation.
O The trans isomer is more stable, since both of its substituents are equatorial in the preferred chair conformation.
O The cis isomer is more stable, since both of its substituents are axiaļ in the preferred chair conformation.
O The cis isomer is more stable, since both of its substituents are equatorial in the preferred chair conformation.
