Write the two chair conformations of each of the following and in each part designate whichconformation would be the more stable: (a) cis-1-tert-butyl-3-methylcyclohexane, (b) trans-1-tert-butyl-3-methylcyclohexane, (c) trans-1-tert-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane, ( d) cis-1-tert-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane.

Fill in the blanks: cis-1,3-Dimethylcyclohexane has two different chair conformations: one withboth methyl groups in __________ positions and one with both methyl groups in ____________ positions.

Following is a planar hexagon representation for one isomer of 1,2,4-trimethylcyclohexane. Draw the alternative chair conformations of this compound and state which of the two is more stable.

Draw the alternative chair conformations for the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane, 1,3- dimethylcyclohexane, and 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane. (a ) Indicate by a label whether each methyl group is axial or equatorial. (b) For which isomer(s) are the alternative chair conformations of equal stability? (c) For which isomer(s) is one chair conformation more stable than the other?
