(Use models to solve this problem.)
(a) Write a conformational structure for the most stable conformation of trans- 1, 4-diethylcyclohexane and for its mirror image.
(b) Are these structures superposable?
(c) Do they represent enantiomers?
(d) Does trans- 1, 4-diethylcyclohexane have a stereoisomer, and if so, what is it?
(e) Is this stereoisomer chiral?
