Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 47P
Consider the cis and trans isomers of 1,3-di-tert-butylcyclohexane (build molecular models). What unusual feature accounts for the face that one of these isomers apparently exists in a twist boat conformation rather than a chair conformation?

What is the most stable conformation for trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane. Describe and explain briefly
Write a conformational structure for 1,2,3-trimethylcyclohexane in which all the methyl groups are axial and then show its more stable conformation.
It is easy to imagine a cyclohexane as a flat hexagon and a lot of the time we draw it
that way. Looking at 1,3,5-triethylcyclohexane we cannot tell the stability of the
molecule from looking at the flat 2D drawing. Explain why we need to look at the 3D
configuration and what conformation (axial,equatorial) would each of the three ethyl
groups be in for the most stable configuration.
