QUESTION:

Below is the numbered skeleton of trans-decalin: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Identify whether each of the following substituents would be in an equatorial position or an axial position: (a) A group at the C-2 position, pointing UP (b) A group at the C-3 position, pointing DOWN (c) A group at the C-4 position, pointing DOWN (d) A group at the C-7 position, pointing DOWN (e) A group at the C-8 position, pointing UP (f) A group at the C-9 position, pointing UP

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

a.  In a chair conformation, if a carbon atom is pointed up, axial is up and equatorial is down. If a carbon is pointed down, equatorial is up and axial is down. Here, C-2 is down, so equatorial is up.
