For cyclohexane indicate the changes in the positions of the axial H atoms as you change from conformation chair (A) to boat and from conformation boat (B) to mirrored chair (C). (Mark the axial hydrogen at A with a 0 and indicate its position at B and at C).

Answer #1

Remember two rules for conformational changes in cyclohexane.

1- During twisting the position of all axial group will become equitorial (only for the carbon centres where twisting is done) and vice versa.

2- The groups which are written on above the plane will remain above and the group which are below the plane will remain below the plane even after twisting.

Here in first image I m just representing the twisting or rotation to make you understand how chair is converted to boat and boat is converted to mirrored chair.Here you can see in first rotation I m just twisting carbon numbered 4,5,6 while in second rotation I m rotating carbon numbered 1,2,3.کس - - boat e mirrored Chair CS OScanned with CamScannerin next image I represented how hydrogens are sifting their position. Here you can clearly see in first rotation at carbon no. 4 axial 0 hydrogen above the plane is still above the plane after twisting but it has changed its position from axial to equitorial.same is the case with carbon 5 and 6 . But the position of hydrogens at 1,2,3 remains same . Similarly in second rotation we are changing hydrogen postion at 1,2,3.

Suggestion- stereochemistry is all about practice try to draw these figures 3-4 times you will become familiar with drawing conformations.Pecze DESSA TI Vó ASSIDE mirrored chair Boat L Chair o (twisting 4.5.6). CamScanner USE
