Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major products formed by the reaction of racemic 3- methylcyclohexene with Br2 are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

When two molecules consist of the same atoms which are linked in the same sequence, but the atoms are placed differently in space, then they are called the stereoisomers.

The organic compounds that are found to be non-superimposable on their mirror images are called as enantiomers. On the other hand, the compounds that are not mirror images of each other are called as diastereomers.

Enantiomer of a compound has opposite configuration. Diastereomers of a compound have at least one stereogenic centre with same configuration and at least one stereogenic centre with opposite configuration.
