Using what you know about the conformational energetics of substituted cyclohexanes, predict which of the two decalin isomers is more stable. Explain your reasoning.
In the space provided below, write a line structure corresponding to the systematic name (R)-3-methylhexane. Then, provide a Newman projection that illustrates the highest energy conformation of (R)-3-methylhexane along the C3-C4 bond axis of the same. Again, place your answer in the space provided.
