Short Answer

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Stereoisomers

Stereoisomers are isomers with identical atomic constitution. Enantiomers form a part of stereoisomers.

02

 Step 2: Reaction of alkene with CH2I2 and Zn(Cu)

Alkenes associate with CH2I2and Zn(Cu) to give rise to non-haogenated cyclopropanes. This reaction is known as Simmons–Smith reaction.

03

Treatment of trans-hex-3-ene CH2I2 with and Zn(Cu)

The trans-3-hexene reacts with CH2I2and Zn(Cu) to form two enantiomers of 1,2-diethylcyclopropane. The position of the substituents in the reactant is retained during product formation.

The stereoisomers formed on the treatment of trans-hex-3-ene with CH2I2and Zn(Cu) can be given as:
