Question

Find the answer that has correct both the two structures of cis-1-isopropyl-4-methylcyclohexane and their relative stability (stability is indicated with ">" meaning "more stable than").

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct structure of cis-1-isopropyl-4-methylcyclohexane is where the isopropyl group and the methyl group are on the same side of the ring, indicated by the prefix "cis". The correct numbering of the substituents is 1 for the isopropyl group and 4 for the methyl group. This leads to the structure shown in choice C.
Additionally, the cyclohexane ring can exist in two different conformations: chair and boat. The chair conformation is more stable than the boat conformation. In choice C, the isopropyl group is in an equatorial position, which is more stable than axial position. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer with the correct structure and conformational stability.
