Question: 2. 1,3-diethylcyclohexane can exist as a cis and a trans isomer. a) Draw both conformers for cis-1,3-diethylcyclohexane, indicate which conformer if either is more stable
2. 1,3-diethylcyclohexane can exist as a cis and a trans isomer. a) Draw both conformers for cis-1,3-diethylcyclohexane, indicate which conformer if either is more stable (lower in energy) b) Draw both conformers for trans-1,3-diethylcyclohexane, indicate which conformer, if either, is more stable (lower in energy) c) Based on your answers in part a and b, which isomer, cis or trans-1,3diethylcyclohexane is lower in energy? Briefly explain your answer. Hint: look at the energies of the conformers for each isomer. Does one isomer have a conformer that has very few interactions
