Out of boat and chair form of cyclohexane, which is more stable ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which form of cyclohexane, the boat or chair form, is more stable, we can analyze the interactions present in each conformation. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Structures - **Chair Form**: The chair conformation of cyclohexane is a three-dimensional structure that minimizes steric strain and torsional strain. - **Boat Form**: The boat conformation is less stable due to increased steric interactions and torsional strain. ### Step 2: Analyze the Chair Form - In the chair form, when viewed in a Newman projection, we observe: ...
