Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given compound is conformational diastereomers, conformational enantiomers or identical is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The saturated six membered ring compounds are mostly expressed and explained in the chair conformations. This is because chair conformation is the most stable conformation of cyclohexane. Therefore, the chair conformation is most helpful in the studies of six carbon ring compounds.
There are two forms of chair conformation one is axial form if the substituent is at axial position and other is equatorial form if the substituent is at equatorial position.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the given compound is conformational diastereomers, conformational enantiomers or identical is to be predicted.

- (15 points). For each pair of the following molecules, indicate whether its members are identical, structural (constitutional) isomers, conformers or stereoisomers. If they are stereoisomers, indicate whether they are enantiomers or diastereomers. If they are conformers, how would you describe the relation between conformations when they are maintained at a temperature too low to permit them to interconvert (Le., are they identical, enantiomers or diastereomers)?
