Question
For each of the following disubstituted cyclohexanes, indicate whether the substituents in the two chair conformers will be both equatorial in one chair conformer and both axial in the other or one equatorial and one axial in each of the chair conformers: a. cis -1,2- b. trans -1,2- c. cis -1,3- d. trans -1,3- e. cis -1,4- f. trans -1,4-
Solution
The first step in solving 3.14 problem number 4 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: For each of the following disubstituted cyclohexanes, indicate whether the substituents in the two chair conformers will be both equatorial in one chair conformer and both axial in the other or one equatorial and one axial in each of the chair conformers: a. cis -1,2- b. trans -1,2- c. cis -1,3- d. trans -1,3- e. cis -1,4- f. trans -1,4-
From the textbook chapter Conformers of Disubstituted Cyclohexanes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
