Is methylcyclohexane chiral?
1 Answer

Consider the following questions:
- Do you think two methylene bridges,
#-"CH"_2-# , are different, if they are symmetrical when reflecting through a mirror plane that bisects the upper-right and bottom-left corners of the cyclohexane ring? - Now that you know whether there is or isn't a mirror plane, do you still think it is chiral? Why or why not?
