    Nomenclature for cyclohexanes?
    I'm trying to find the correct nomenclature for a cyclohexane with four substituents. The stereochemistry of the cyclohexane is (1R, 2R, 5S, 6S). The methyl groups on 1 and 6 are pointed away and the groups on 2 and 5 are pointed towards you.

    I know 2 substituents is di- and 3 substituents is tri- but what's four?

    THANK YOU!!

    Four? Tetra...

    I'm not sure how you'd call the stereochemistry.
