9) cis 1,2 dimethyl cyclohexane
a)
most stable conformation ( every other structure is similar because always one methyl will be in equatorial position and other in axial position)
b)
c)
d) Bromination is less exothermic than fluorination. Bromine is less reactive than fluorine and are muchore selective thus only one product is formed. But fluorine is vigourously reactive and forms many produts.
e) The reaction betweem 1 bromo 1, 2 dimethylcyclohexane and hot ethanol follows fist order nucleophilic substitution reaction (S N 1) ans well as unimolecular elimination reaction (E1).
f)
mechanism
S N 1
E1
The major product is according to saytzeff's rule ( According to Saytzeff Rule the elimination will lead predominantly to the olefin in which the double bond is more highly substituted)
g)
The product is (1R,2R)-1-methoxy-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane
anticlockwise and least priority towards you - R configuration
clockwise and least priority away from you - R configuration
h)
cis 1,2-dimethylcyclohex-1-ene ( the two similar groups are on same side)
1-methyl-2-methylidenecyclohexane ( neither cis nor trans)
1,6-dimethylcyclohex-1-ene( neither cis nor trans)
