Answer:
answer can be seen in the attached file
Explanation:
There are 8 diastereomers of1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane.
Draw each in its more stablechair conformation. One isomer loses
HCl in an E2 reaction nearly 1000x more slowly than the others.
Which isomer reacts so slowly,and why?
8 diastereomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane in their stable chair conformation.
For E2 Elimination in cyclohexane derivatives the stereoelectronic requirement is that the leaving groups should be both to each other?-isomer. although not possible
The -isomer we are looking for is the only one that does not have any axialchlorines and hydrogen.it reacts nearly 1000x more slowly than the others
