Correct statement regarding following compound :
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, B, D
Solution:
Compound (I) is cis-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane because both methyl () groups point in the upward direction.
Compound (II) is trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane because one methyl group points up and the other points down.
Compound (III) is cis-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane as the methyl groups are attached at the 1 and 3 positions.
Since (I) and (II) are cis/trans forms of the same 1,4-structure, they are geometrical isomers (Statement A is correct).
Since (III) differs in the connectivity position (1,3 vs. 1,4), it forms position isomers with both (I) and (II) (Statements B and D are correct).
