1-Chloro-4-isopropylcyclohexane exists as two stereoisomers: one cis and one trans. Treatment of either isomer with sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives 4-isopropylcyclohexene by an E2 reaction. CH,CH,O Na* CI CH,CH,OH 1-Chloro-4- 4-Isopropylcyclohexene isopropylcyclohexane The cis isomer undergoes E2 reaction several orders of magnitude faster than the trans isomer. How do you account for this experimental observation?

One compound that contributes to the “seashore smell” at beaches in Hawai‘i is dictyopterene D', a component of a brown edible seaweed called limu lipoa. Hydrogenation of dictyopterene D' with excess H2 in the presence of a Pd catalyst forms butylcycloheptane. Ozonolysis with O3 followed by (CH3)2S forms CH2(CHO)2, HCOCH2CH(CHO)2, and CH3CH2CHO. What are possible structures of dictyopterene D'?
