Ring flip for each of the following compounds. Draw the four cis,trans isomers of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol. Use a planar hexagon representation for the cyclohexane ring and draw structural formulas for the four cis,trans isomers. Use dashes and wedges to describe the relationships between the substituents.
Draw the more stable chair conformation for each of your answers in part (a).
Of the four cis,trans isomers, circle the one which is the most stable isomer found in nature (Note: It is called menthol).
