Chapter FRP, Problem 25P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The conformational structure for the major product obtained on the reaction of $1-tert-\text{butylcyclohexene}$ with each of the given reagent is to be written, and the product formed as racemic mixture is to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

When a tertiary butyl group is present as a substituent in a cyclohexane ring, the bulky tertiary butyl group must be placed in the equatorial position to avoid the 1, 3-axial strain.
