(a)
Interpretation: The maximum number of stereoisomers that could exist for 1,2-cyclohexanediol needs to be determined, if the formula is 2n ( n = number of stereocenters).
Concept Introduction: Organic compounds are the compounds which are mainly composed C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The compounds with same molecular formula and different structural formula are called as isomers. Isomers can be classified as constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.
Constitutional isomers can be defined as the pair of molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formula. Stereoisomers have same molecular and structural formula but they have different arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space.
Optical isomers are type of stereoisomers which have same molecular and structural formula but they have different arrangement of atoms in the three-dimensional space. The essential condition for a molecule to be optical isomer is the presence of chiral carbon atom.
(b)
Interpretation: The reason of three stereoisomers of 1, 2-cyclohexanediol rather than calculated value 4 needs to be explained.
