Chapter 4.11, Problem 10LTS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The axial and equatrial positions in Cyclohexane chair conformation should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Conformational isomers:

• The two or more compounds have same molecular formula and different structural formulas are called conformational isomers.
• The Cyclohexane has a chair and boat conformations.
• The chair conformations of Cyclohexane have a axial and equatorial positions of substituent's.
• The atom or group is occupy at similar to a vertical axis passing through the chair conformation of Cyclohexane ring is called axial position.
• The atom or group is occupy at similar to horizontal axis passing through the chair conformation of Cyclohexane ring is called equatorial position.

To draw the axial positions in chair conformation of Cyclohexane ring.
