Chair Cyclohexane
The Flipping Chair Chair Cyclohexane Conformers (Chair-Boat-Chair Interconversion) You should expect some variant of the following question: Draw the most stable conformational isomer of trans-1,4-diethylcyclohexane. So far you've looked at the energy diagrams of molecules in different shapes or conformations using what are known as Newman Projections. This is n-butane in its most stable conformation. The...
