Stereochemistry 2

Ques 7) Whcih equilibrium is not rapid at room temperature ?

Ques 8) Consider the following energy profiles where A reacts with reagent B and gets converted to C, and B reacts with same reagent (R) under identical conditions and gets converted to D. Compounds A and B are enantiomers of each other. Which statements abt the T.S (Transition states) for these transformations must be true ?
(a) The two T.S are enantiomers.
(b) The two T.S are diastereomers.
(c) The two T.S are E/Z isomers
(d) The two T.S are constitutional isomers.

Ans 5..is the answer 4?

Ans 6 ...in the second compound rotation by 60° produces a meso compound..it has chiral centre but it's optically inactive due to internal compensation..the first compound has two chiral centres..

Ans 7..B

Ans 8.. where A reacts with reagent B ..i think it shud be R in place of B here..

@ Govind, oh yeah sry ur 6th ans is right
Actually, I misunderstood the ques

For ques 5 , I am getiing 3 isomers. Where is my mistake ??
Wats ur reason for ans 7 ???

In question 5..two isomers bcoz of cis-trans..at the carbon attached to -COOH group..and the ctclic ring has one chiral centre..so 2*2 = 4..moreover i am not getting any kinda symmetry in this compound so ans remains 4 only...

ans 7..the method i used here was elimination...eclipsed to gausche needs energy abt 3Kcal/mol and for the changes in cyclohexane also needs less energy..so we have only one option remaining and that's B...
