Shown are both conformers of menthyl chloride, a diastereomer of neomenthyl chloride. CH3 H H3C CH. H H. H- H3C CI- D CH3 H CH CH3 H3C H c. Which of the two conformers is more stable (C or D)? d. Which will eliminate with CH3CH20 in refluxing ethanol (C or D)? When menthyl chloride reacts with ethoxide (CH3CH20-), only one alkene is formed and it is NOT the alkene predicted by Zaitsev's rule. Draw the structure of this alkene. On C or D (pictured above, whichever is appropriate) circle the proton that is removed in this reaction.
