Chapter 4, Problem 4.34P

Consider the substituted cyclohexane shown in the ball-and-stick model.

a. Label the substituents on $\text{C1,}\text{C2,}\text{and}\text{C4}$ as axial or equatorial.

b. Are the substituents on $\text{C1}\text{and}\text{C2}$ cis or trans to each other?

c. Are the substituents on $\text{C2}\text{and}\text{C4}$ cis or trans to each other?

d. Draw the second possible conformation in the chair form, and classify it as more stable or less stable than the conformation shown in the three-dimensional model.
