How many of the following statements are correct?
1) The most stable conformer of cis-1, 3-cyclohexanediol is chair form.
2) Cis- 1, 3- cyclohexanediol is more stable than trans -1, 3-cyclohexanediol.
3) In Cis 1, 3-cyclohexanediol both the OH groups occupy equitorial positions.
4) The most stable conformer of trans -1, 4-cyclohexanediol is chair form.
5) The most stable conformer of cis-1, 4-cyclohexanediol is boat conformer.

Answer

4

Explanation

In chair form of cis-1,3-cyclohexanediol both the OH groups are axial due to intra molecular hydrogen bond. Most stable conformer of cis-1,4-cyclohexanediol is boat form.
