Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For the first part of the question, we have to check the <u>chiral carbons</u> in 4-methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediol. In this case carbons, <u>1 and 2 are chiral</u>, if we have 2 chiral carbons we will have 4 isomers. We have to remember that formula 2^n in which "n" is the number of chiral carbons, so:

<u>2^n = 2^2 = 4 isomers</u>

<u>And the isomers that we can have are:</u>

1) (1R,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

2) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

3) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

4) (1S,2R)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

See figure 1

For the second part of the question, we have to remember that the oxidation with OsO_4 is a <u>syn addition</u>. In other words, the "OHs" are added in the <u>same plane</u>. In this case, we have the methyl group with a wedge bond, so the "OH" groups will have a dashed bond due to the <u>steric hindrance</u>. Due to this we only can have <u>1 isomer</u> ((1S,2R,4S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol). Finally, on this molecule, <u>we dont have any symmetry planes</u> (this characteristic will cancel out the optical activity), so <u>the product of this reaction has optical activity</u>.

See figure 2

I hope it helps!

When was the idea of an atom first developed? Describe this theory.
malfutka [58]

The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.

According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.
