How do you determine between cyclohexane rings that they are enantiomers or diastereomers of each other?
Thank You.

R and S chiral designations.

also look at the reversal of substituents on the ring (going from cis to trans for example)

Enantiomers are mirror images and they differ at all the stereocenters (chiral carbons) between each other. While Diastereomers differ in some but not all stereocenters.

Diastereomers are the stereoisomers that are not enantiomers.
