The drawing below shows that cis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane is chiral. Efforts to resolve this compound fail. Why? ÇI Mirror H- -CI CI- Select the correct response: the chair conformers rapidly interconvert producing a racemic mixture. the cis and trans isomers rapidly interconvert. methods for resolving alkyl chlorides are not available. the compound is actually a meso structure.
