be sure to answer all parts. in the following pair of compounds one is chiral and the other is achiral. identify each compound as chiral or achiral, as appropriate. the first compound is (select) and the second compound is

Respuesta :

The first compound is achiral and the second compound is chiral.

A molecule is referred to as achiral if it has a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry. A molecule is referred to as chiral if it lacks a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry. As compound 1 possesses a plane of symmetry due to the presence of both OH groups at equatorial positions (they are on the same side of the cyclohexane ring) so it is achiral. In structure, both OH groups are on the opposing side of the cyclohexane ring. There is neither a plane of symmetry nor a center of inversion. So, compound 2 is chiral.
