Chapter 4.12, Problem 11LTS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The axial and equatorial chair conformation of Bromocyclohexane 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 cyclohexanes have a chair and boat conformations.
• The boat conformation of cyclohexane is more stable than boat form.
• The boat conformation of cyclohexane has two positions of substituent's which are axial and equatorial.
• The substituent occupy at similar to a vertical axis passing through the chair conformation of cyclohexane ring is called axial position.
• The substituent occupy at similar to a horizontal axis passing through the chair conformation of cyclohexane ring is called equatorial position.

To draw the axial and equatorial chair conformations of Bromocyclohexane.
