Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Remark: An axial t-butyl group is very unfavourable form. In Cis-1,4-dit-dit-t-butyl cyclohexane, one t-butyl group would be forced axial if the compound existed in a chair conformation, to avoid this, the compound prefers to pucker into twist boat so that the two groups can both be in equatorial position (or Pseudoequatorial, since this is not a chair).
