(a)
Interpretation:
The three distinct chair conformations for cyclohexylcyclohexane is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Chair conformations have three sets of parallel lines drawn together at a time. Equatorial bonds are drawn parallel to the line representing the
(b)
Interpretation:
The most stable conformation of cyclohexylcyclohexane is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When each substituent is attached to a cyclohexane ring in an equatorial position, the chair conformation is most stable than in an axial position. In the monosubstituted cyclohexane, the substituents that are attached to equatorial positions of each other are most stable. If two or more substituents are attached to cyclohexane, then the conformation in which maximum substituents are in equatorial position is more stable than the axial position.
