Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A stereoselective synthesis of methyl trans-4 isopropyl cyclohexanecarboxylate is to be outlined from phenol.

Concept Introduction:

Stereo selectivity is the property of chemical reactions where a reactant gives an unequal mixture of stereo isomeric products.

This arises due to difference in steric and electronic effects that leads to different products.

The efficiency of stereo selectivity lies totally with the stereochemistry of the products that are formed.
