Chapter 3.15, Problem 3.28P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The information regarding the arrangement of groups at the position $1,2$ in cyclohexane ring is given. The completion of given table using the results from Problem $3-27$ is to be done.

Concept introduction:

The cycloalkane with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ is called cyclohexane. This six vertex ring does not show the shape of a complete hexagon. In the case of hexane, the bond angles between carbon atoms are $109.5°$ due to which it has some angle strain that is known as torsional strain. This strain is reduced by cyclohexane after it adopts a $3-\text{D}$ structure known as chair conformation.
