Is the paddle wheel structure chiral or achiral


1) Write the aldol product that would be obtained if dibenzylketone condensed with itself. (Only a single condensation.) Thisproduct is not significant because benzil is more electrophilkicthan a simple ketone like dibezyl ketone. (HINT: explain theexpected effect of the 2nd carbonyl group on adjacent carbon on themagnitude of the δ+ on the first carbonyl group

2) Draw the mechanism for the crossed aldol condensation betweencyclohexane and benzaldehyde.

3) Draw a representation for TPCP that would represent its structure if the phenyls were perpendicular to the 5-membered ring(a paddle wheel structure) and a representation that represents the"propeller" structure is chiral. Is the paddle wheel structure chiral or achiral? How do you know?
