Question
Chapter 4, Problem 38P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The most stable of the four-boat conformation of the methylcyclohexane needs to be determined.
Concept introduction: The most stable conformation of a compound is the one in which there is less or no steric hinderance. The position of the bulkier group plays an important role in this case. The bulkier group at equatorial position is comparatively more stable than at axial position.
