Draw a stereoisomer of trans-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is only one stereoisomer of trans-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of stereoisomers

Stereoisomers are the isomers that have the same connectivity but difference in the spatial arrangement of atoms in space.

There are two types of stereoisomers enantiomers and diastereomers. Enantiomers are the stereoisomers that are the mirror images of each other while diastereomers are not mirrored images of each other.

02

Different stereoisomers of trans-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane

There is only one stereoisomer of trans-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane which is cis-1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane. It is shown as follow;
