Chapter 4.11, Problem 23PTS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The axial and equatorial positions in Cyclohexane chair conformation should be drown.

Concept Introduction:

Conformational isomers:

• The two or more compounds have same molecular formula and different structural formulas are called conformational isomers.
• The Cyclohexane have a chair and boat conformations.
• The chair conformations of Cyclohexane have an axial and equatorial positions.
• 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.
