Chapter 4, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The most stable isomer between cis- and trans-decalin needs to be determined and the energy difference between the two needs to be determined.

Concept introduction: The most stable conformation of a compound is the one in which there is less or no steric hinderance. The position of the bulkier group plays an important role in this case. The bulkier group at equatorial position is comparatively more stable than at axial position.
