In each case, circle the more stable chair conformation and explain why it is more stable Explanation Explanation
Expert Solution
Step 1

The conversion of planar form to chair form of six membered ring:

Cis/trans substituted planar form Axial/equatorial relationship on chair conformation
1,2-cis disubstituted a.e/e,a
1,2-trans disubstituted a,a/e,e
1,3-cis disubstituted a,a/e,e
1,3-trans disubstituted a,e/e,a
1,4-cis disubstituted a,e/e,a
1,4-trans disubstituted a,a/e,e

Note: a = axial and e = equatorial.
