Question

The cyclohexane derivative shown exists primarily in the morestable of the two available chair conformations. Give the position,axial or equatorial, of each of the three groups shown in the morestable chair conformation. If a group divides its time equallybetween axial and equatorial positions, indicate this withax/eq.

The table of "Axial Strain Energies for MonosubstitutedCyclohexanes" found in the "Strain Energy Increments" section ofthe Reference tool is useful for answering thisquestion.

The choices are axial, equatorial, or both.
