Question
Chapter 7, Problem 14E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The mistake in the given chair representations needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The molecule with lowest potential energy is most stable. In the chair conformation of the cyclohexane, the stable conformation is when large groups are present in the equatorial positions. The equatorial positions in the chair conformation points away from the ring thus, there is less steric hinderance.
