Document Summary
Chapter 3 notes part 18: an introduction to organic compounds. First notice that there are two different dimethylcyclohexanes. One has both methyl substituents on the same side of the cyclohexane ring (both point downward in the example below) it is called the cis isomer (cis is latin for on this side ). The other has the two methyl substituents on opposite sides of the ring (one points upward and one points downward in the example below) it is called the trans isomer (trans is latin for across ). Cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane and trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane are examples of cis trans isomers or geometric isomers. The cis and trans isomers are different compounds with different melting and boiling points, so they can be separated from each other. Every compound with a cyclohexane ring has two chair conformers. Thus, both the cis isomer and the trans isomer of a disubstituted cyclohexane have two chair conformers.
