Question
Chapter 4.6, Problem 4.15E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The molecular models of cis- and trans- decalin is to be constructed and its conformational mobility needs to be explained.
Concept introduction: Decalin is the product formed when two hydrogen from ethyl groups are removed from 1,2-diethylcyclohexane. Cis and trans-form is based on the position of two hydrogen atoms.
