Question

Draw a chair conformation of cyclohexane with one CH3CH2 group and one CH3 group that fits following description.

a trans-1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane with an equatorial CH3CH2 group

Expert Solution
Step 1:

Chair conformation of cyclohexane contains two types of hydrogen.

  1. Equatorial hydrogens: These hydrogens lie around the equator of the ring.
  2. Axial hydrogens: These hydrogens lie along the axis of the ring.

Two substituents are present on the ring. One is a methyl group and the other is an ethyl group.

Step 2:

Equatorial and axial hydrogens on a cyclohexane ring is described as follows:
