Question
Chapter 11, Problem 67P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The possible 2 chair conformations for the given molecule needs to be drawn. The most stable conformation needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:There are two basic principles that needs to be followed to convert a cyclohexane to its chair conformation:
The chair conformations are more stable.
The substituents present on the chair conformers always prefer to occupy equatorial positions. This is due to high steric hindrance of axial positions.

It is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it
that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the
molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D
configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl
groups be in for the most stable configuration.
In the drawing areas below, draw the two conformations of bromocyclohexane that are typically the most stable. Be sure your
drawings make it possible to distinguish between the conformations.
After you've drawn the conformations, answer the question below the drawing areas.
