Chapter 7, Problem 17E, Build a model of methylcyclohexane, and use the model to complete the following Newmanprojections of a. When the methyl group is in an axial or equatorial (circle one) position, the molecule is inits lowest potential energy conformation.
b. Label one Newman projection above anti and the other gauche to describe the relationshipbetween the methyl group and C 3 of the ring.
c. In general, which is a lower PE conformation, anti or gauche?
d. Explain how your answer to b and c provide an explanation for why it is more favorable fora large group to be in an equatorial than an axial position.
