3) Shown below are three different stereoisomers of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexamethylcyclohexane. Answer the following questions ab
questions about these stereoisomers. Stereoisomer 1 Most stable: i) Determine which stereoisomer is the most stable and which is the least stable by considering the chair conformations of each and briefly explain by using key words and drawing at least one chair conformer to support your explanation. Note: It is NOT necessary to draw the chair conformations for ALL three of these compounds to answer this question. Least stable: Explanation/Chair conformer: Stereoisomer 1: Stereoisomer 2: Stereoisomer 3: Stereoisomer 2 ii) How many chiral centers are present in each? Stereoisomers 2 and 3: Stereoisomer 3 Storesinamere 1 and 2 (Stereoisomer 1, 2, or 3) (Stereoisomer 1, 2, or 3) iii) What is the relationship between each pair of stereoisomers listed below? Stereoisomers 1 and 2:
