- a model of cyclohexane in a chair conformation, and explain why the names “axial” and“equatorial’ are appropriate.arrow_forwardConsider the molecule 1-bromo-2-methylbutane. C3 and C4 should be drawn as Et as in theexample. This group is called an ethyl group and can be considered a sphere about twice the sizeof a methyl group. Draw the following Newman projections sighting down the C1C2 bond... a. The lowest potential energy conformation. b. The highest potential energy staggered conformation.arrow_forwardOn the left is a stereorepresentation of glucose (we discuss the structure and chemistry of glucose in Chapter 25). (a) Convert the stereorepresentation on the left to a planar hexagon representation. (b) Convert the stereorepresentation on the left to a chair conformation. Which substituent groups in the chair conformation are equatorial? Which are axial?arrow_forward
