A) \[cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol\]
B) \[trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol\]
C) \[cis-1,3-cyclohexanediol\]
D) \[trans-1,3-cyclohexanediol\]
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Trans configuration is more stable than cis configuration because in cis-configuration the H groups are thrown closely enough together to cause crowding or repulsion. Again between 1,2-and 1,3-configurations, in 1-3, the OH groups are placed further apart to minimise the repulsion. Hence, more stable is 1,3-configuration.
