Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The more stable chair conformation of the given structure is to be drawn and explained.
Concept introduction:
The saturated six membered ring compounds are mostly expressed and explained in the chair conformations. This is because chair conformation is the most stable conformation of cyclohexane. Therefore, the chair conformation is most helpful in the studies of six carbon ring compounds.
Cis-trans relation between the substituents is denoted by their axial and equatorial positions.
