Cyclohexane Chairs
« on: September 30, 2008, 11:50:15 PM »
I have some homework due and I was hoping someone might be able to check over it and give me some feedback. I would REALLY appreciate it.

My work, I hope you can see it alright in pencil:

Oops.  I didn't read the question carefully.  The question asked for steric strain of least stable conformation.  In glancing over it, I assumed it wanted strain of most stable.  #5 is correct as you've written it.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you all for looking over this.  I had a question about drawing them but I started looking at models and realized two different chairs that looked a bit different were really just rotated structures.
