Chapter 7, Problem 7.5P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The two chair conformations that are in equilibrium for the given compound are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The conformation of cyclohexane is a type of 3D shape of cyclohexane molecule. There are total four types of significant conformations of cyclohexane exists which are chair conformation, half-chair conformation, boat conformation and twist-boat conformation. The switching of cyclohexane molecule is very easy between the four conformations.
