QUESTION:
Draw both chair conformations for each of the following compounds: (a) OH (b) NH2 (c) Cl (d) (e)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
a. The best way to draw both chair conformations is to realize which carbon atoms are the same between each drawing. This can be seen by the numbering shown below.
For this compound, one structure can be drawn by placing the hydroxyl group on C-1. If it is drawn up, it will remain up in both conformations, switching from axial to equatorial.
