Chapter 8, Problem 5Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most stable conformer should be determined using molecular mechanics amongst cis- 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol and trans -3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol formed from reduction of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone.

Concept Introduction:

In the molecular mechanics method, the molecule is treated as made up of balls (atoms) and springs (bonds). Here, springs connects the balls. The total energy of molecule is known as strain energy and it is sum of the energy contributed due to stretching, strain in angle and electronic charge interactions.

I don't understand why the amide on the top left, with the R attached to one side, doesn't get substituted with OH to form a carboxylic acid.  And if only one can be substituted, why did it choose the amide it chose rather than the other amide?
