Concepts and reason

Cyclohexane is more stable in its chair conformation. In chair conformation of cyclohexane, two types of groups are present at each carbon atom. They are axial and equatorial groups.

Fundamentals

If two substituents are cis to each other then they are in up, up (or) down, down to each other in chair conformation.

If two substituents are trans to each other then they are in up, down (or) down, up to each other in chair conformation.

The given chair conformation of cyclohexane is,

CH3
Br
61–
M01

The OH group is present at equatorial down position and it is shown with bold letters in chair conformation.
