Enantiomer of cis-1-chloro-3-methylcyclopentane
Not what you're looking for?
Draw the enantiomer of cis-1-chloro-3-methylcyclopentane which is R at C-1.
1) What is the configuration of this molecule at C-3 (R and S)?
2) When cis-1-chloro-3-methylcyclopentane and trans-1-chloro-3-methylcyclopentane are treated with sodium iodide in aqueous acetone, their rates of substitution are strikingly different. Explain clearly why this is so.

Please refer to the attached file. Cheers.
a) Here, I drew the structure really big so that you can see the 3D picture better.
Because at C-1, the configuration has to be R, Cl has to point upwards. (I showed the priority at C-1, with Cl the first, the carbon at position 2 the second. That way, going from 1 23, the rotation is clockwise. ...
